Mac4Lin Project hosted on Sourceforge.net

My Mac4Lin project is on Sourceforge.net!

Keep visiting the page and my blog (URL in my siggy) for updates. The project has been conceived on Ubuntu and GNOME. But it'll soon be tested on other distros and Unix-like OS which employ GTK+. Its in alpha version as of now. People who would like to test may please drop me a mail. Please leave your comments and suggestions regarding the project here, on my blog or on the project website. Feature requests and Bug tracking welcomed

Link to project: Mac4Lin on Sourceforge.net

PS: Mehul said he'll help test and build packages for Ubuntu and Debian based systems

infra_red_dude · 29-08-2007, 05:27 PM

no vish i'm not including any of those since they are wid reference to mac os tiger and not leopard. mebbe we can haf another project: tiger at a later date.

btw, except awn i hafnt included installation instruction for anything else. since its in alpha stage all the testers will be well versed wid at least installing themes, icons, plugins and stuff. if you need any help then jus report back here.

word of caution: be careful wid the gtk macmenu. uninstalling that will require you to download and install some original gtk libs.

infra_red_dude · 31-08-2007, 01:37 PM

hey guys.. did anyone try this pack? i'm coming up wid an icon pack update soon.

mediator · 31-08-2007, 01:51 PM

Garbage · 31-08-2007, 08:32 PM

i'm happy to announce that from 29th august to this moment today (8th septemer, 2.20am), SF.net has served about 1.4GB of download for the mac4lin project

i've spoken wid the developer of firefox skin and he said he'd make a skin specifically for this project

edit: i think i should release the icon update and not what for the FF skin. what say?

i meant a skin for FF to emulate safari which will be tailor made for the mac4lin pack by the developer

praka123 · 08-09-2007, 02:56 AM

isnt there any parallel projects hosted somewhere?(mac look)

infra_red_dude · 09-09-2007, 12:23 AM

i hafn't seen any project. everything is kinda scattered. but there are no leopard emulation projects/compiled resources yet.

edit: when i started this project and registered it at SF.net i got a mail from them which said that this project as been assigned a tag of APT - abandoned project takeover. so someone must've tried something like this before regarding older versions of mac os x.

************************************************** *

whoa! the figure has gone up to 1.8GB as of now!!! i wonder who's downloading so much yet not giving me any feedback!

vish786 · 09-09-2007, 12:32 AM

@infra, may be they know how to get it work, dont worry not a issue.

infra_red_dude · 09-09-2007, 12:35 AM

no i jus need to know whether everything works fine. coz some ppl (including u, rite??!

) haf agreed to create packages for it. so it needs to be made sure everything works.

Problem is with Tainan, Taiwan mirror. It's giving not found error. I tried Ishikawa, Japan mirror and it's downloading fine.

Will try it again once I get time to restart my VM

yes, except the gtk mac menu and the instructions given to install avant-windows-navigator everything else will work on any linux/unix-like distro wid GNOME. for AWN, u may use RPMs if available or compile from source.

For AWN, I tried to find RPM for that. But couldn't !!

Can u please provide me link for that ??

Or just tell me the procedure to compile it from source!

praka123 · 10-09-2007, 03:58 PM

^sometimes u can try the luck with rpms made for other distros/versions.
for eg; try rpms for fedora via terminal-to check whether it installs.as a last resort compile!
edit:see the link:
http://awn.wetpaint.com/page/openSUSE
its in suse build repo.may be u need to register!
