QPC2 for Mac ... with Black Phoenix!

Post by Giorgio Garabello »

From the Kilgus Home page:

"Sometimes things happen out of the blue. I haven’t heard from my fellow QL friend Peta Jaeger for years and yesterday he mailed me a complete ready-to-run distribution of QPC2 for MacOS X. Under the hood it employs the WINE Windows emulation layer, so QPC2 is of course still not a native Mac application, but it almost feels like one. I only have a headless Mac at home (meaning without a monitor or keyboard) and I’m currently 5km away from that, but even through the remote VNC connection it felt absolutely usable, which I find pretty amazing. Peta also included the Black Phoenix QL software distribution so you can start clicking through various applications right away. It is installed like pretty much any other Mac application, but if you have questions feel free to contact Peta about it."

Just an update - this fails to start on my work iMac running 10.9.5 (Have to do a force quit - could not find any logs in the console app so alas no details of why it would not start)

Note: I started it using right-click Open to get around Gatekeeper.

I'll try it on my own Mac which has El Capitan 10.11 at home when I get the chance.
