Snappy Posted October 6 Why does McGalaxy only have exe files for mac installation. It's counter intuitive. The McGalaxy readme says nothing about how to run McGalaxy on mac. It's completely foolish to make a mac install for McGalaxy and expect the user to figure out how to use exe files on macos. It's completely Illogical! 1 Share this post Link to post

It's completely Illogical! I completely agree. Someone should really put that in the README or something! Though, I definitely shouldn't assume people would read it. 1 Share this post Link to post

Make CLI and GUI compatible with macos. 2 1 Share this post Link to post
TomCube2 Posted October 6 I mean, you could also look at the README. I wonder if there's anything related to MacOS in the Setup section... 1 Share this post Link to post

I have reworded the MCGalaxy download page (https://www.classicube.net/mcg/download/) to be clearer, does that help? You can also download the standalone build from that page that can be run directly on macOS without needing to install mono - it is CLI only though. Share this post Link to post

I run the command for the GUI and it returns "illegal instruction: 4" Share this post Link to post

Goodly Posted October 7 Why are you running macos 10.7 in a virtual machine? What is your actual OS and isn't it more likely to be able to run MCGalaxy? Share this post Link to post

I had a working 10.7 virtual machine so I wanted to see if MCGalaxy GUI would work since it's 32-bit. My actual OS is macOS Sequoia and not at all can run MCGalaxy GUI. Share this post Link to post
