Teema: GPRO Organiser in OS X |

Hi,
I have seen some people asking around how to run the GPRO Organiser in a mac. OS X is a unix system under the hood (BSD actually), and wine (see the Ubuntu thread) is also available.
If you don’t have homebrew start here:
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/wiki/Installation
Then in the terminal type:
$brew install wine winetricks
$cd ~/.wine
$winetricks dotnet35
This will install everything from dotnet20 to dotnet35. The script will ask you to download some files, just follow the instructions.
If you run through an error during dotnet30sp1 installation type:
$ mv /Users/youraccount/Library/Caches/winetricks/dotnet30sp1/XPSEP%20XP%20and%20Server%202003%2032%20bit.msi "/Users/youraccount/Library/Caches/winetricks/dotnet30sp1/XPSEP XP and Server 2003 32 bit.msi”
and rerun the script.
Upon successfull installation, type:
$ wine godir/setup.exe
To run the app:
$ cd drive_c/Program Files/GO
$ wine go.exe
Enjoy!

Yikes, this is way above my understating of my Mac (long term PC user, short term Mac user). Don't suppose there is an idiots guide out there somewhere is there?
Thanks,

For Homebrew there are many guides, you will be fine with their wiki (follow the link above).
Then I see the problem with the terminal stuff, but it is pretty straight forward if you know the basics. Try this
http://lifehacker.com/5633909/who-needs-a-mouse-learn-to-use...
and after that have a go at it. Don't worry too much if you fail, if you notice nothing is done as a superuser, so your system will be fine. Let me know how it goes.

Hi,
The last updates of GO are using .NET 4.0, and the installation process with wine is cleaner and easier. Keep reading.
If you don’t have homebrew start here:
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/wiki/Installation
If you don't have wine installed yet, then type in the terminal:
$brew install wine winetricks
$cd ~/.wine
Install .NET:
$winetricks dotnet20 dotnet40
Upon successfull installation, install GO with:
$ wine <download-dir>/setup.exe
To run the app:
$ cd drive_c/Program Files/GO
$ wine go.exe
Let me know how it goes.

This should be pinned. Thanks Rui

I'll have a look at this later tonight after the race, looks like fantastic work though, well done. OSX support has been lacking for a while. I know we're a minority, but a large minority.

No biggie, we have to thank the guys at wine ;)
To keep your go.dat file synched use something like Dropbox, then link the file to the go directory:
$ ln -s ~/Dropbox/go.dat ~/.wine/drive_c/<godir>

Just been pointed to this site as I have just bought a MacBook in the last week and all of the above has gone WAY over my head.
Can anyone give me REAL IDIOTS guide to this as I would like to run GO on my Mac.
Sorry but don't even know what this is

and the page I get to I have absolutely no idea where to start or what to do to download. Need help!!!

All Mac users should bootcamp windows and install VMware fusion - the unity view will run it in OSX using Windows binaries - that's how I do it!

Sorry but I am unfamiliar with this term....can you explain
|
|
|
|
applications, then utilities, then terminal to run the terminal, it's a black window where you can type the commands given in the first post
the rest of the instructions should be fine but if you have any problems just reply to the thread and someone should be able to help :)

So there is an OSX utility called bootcamp - it spins up a new partition on the main disk of your MAC - you then install windows on it and can dual boot OSX / Windows. Provided you are on intel hardware based Mac of course.
Once you have that setup, you can install VMware fusion (70 dollars or so) and run VMware unity view - Unity view runs Windows in the background and gives the appearance of opening windows programs natively in OSX

OK thank you guys will have a look at that
|

for one program though wine is definitely a lot easier, it's made specifically to run windows programs on linux or mac machines
that or a virtualbox VM (virtual machine), which runs an actual copy of windows from within your normal mac desktop, in a window like a game or any other program would run, but is easier to completely remove if you don't fancy it anymore

There is an app for that too. CrossOver. It is based in wine in order to emulate how windows apps work but it is a lot easier no terminal. You install the CrossOver app and then you double click the .exe app you want to install. And you follow the guidelines. The only catch is that CrossOver is not free and it is not 100% certain that the .exe will work as in windows. In my experience I didn't have problems installing and using it. But that was a few seasons back. I see above that things changed so you can give it a try. https://www.codeweavers.com/products/ it offers a trial ;)

Wine is buggy in OSX in my experience.... other emulators don't work the same as having it running natively - the method I laid out has never failed me.
|
|
|
|

a VM won't require partitioning your drive though, that might be more risky for someone who can't install wine, so i'd suggest virtualbox and a vm, you can get free windows images to run at www.modern.ie which will be just functional enough to run something like gpro organiser

Can anyone help with my Mac and getting GO organiser? I am new to Mac and do not have a clue where to start?
Thanks
|
|
|
|
|
|

Would anyone be able to provide an updated walkthrough on how to do this? I'm getting bad EXE error message when running terminal, and think its due to the new version of GO...

I can't provide support for mac, or if buy me one, why not 😂
C#. Net is multi-platform but the original app was very specific to Windows.
But I think with wine, on mac and Linux, there is no reason to not do the work, it's a basic app

I can confirm that the latest version of the GPro Organiser still works under Mac OS using wine. Some of the panels don't seem to render quite right, but so far it seems totally usable.
Here are the commands I used to get it working.
If you don't already have homebrew installed, then install it. See: https://brew.sh/
Run the following commands in a Terminal session:
brew cask install xquart
brew cask install wine-stable
brew install winetricks
brew switch openssl 1.0.2q
winetricks dotnet472
winetricks dotnet48
Notes:
- I already had a lot of brew packages installed, if you are new to brew you may need to install some additional pre-requiste packages.
- I'm not sure why the brew switch openssl command was required - I think my existing openssl installation was broken - winetricks was failing, you could try the dotnet install without doing this.
- I doubt the installation of dotnet472 is required - I think just the dotnet48 command will be sufficient .... but this is what I did, and it worked.
- The dotnet48 install crashed on my first attempt. I needed to Force Quite the wine-preloader process, and then it worked on second attempt.
Then download the latest version of the GPro Organiser setup exe file (current is GProOrganizer_3.2.21.32421_Setup.exe).
Run the following command in a Terminal session (assuming you saved to the Downloads folder, and adjust if there is a newer version available):
wine ~/Downloads/GProOrganizer_3.2.21.32421_Setup.exe
The GPro Organiser application can then be started with the command :
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/users/$(whoami)/Local\ Settings/Application\ Data/Programs/GPro\ Organiser/ && /usr/local/bin/wine Go.exe

Good to have a nice tuto for install on osx 😉

Sorry for replying to an old thread ....
I have installed Homebrew, but I can't execute
"brew cask install xquart"
Unknown command: cask
|
|
|
|
@Fishman Dan (R150)
From homebrew doc, test with :
brew install --cask xquart
As first command and repeat when needed 👌

I haven't used GPRO Organiser for over a year, but if you are running MacOS Catalina (10.15) or later, then I would be pretty sure that these instructions no longer work (Apple removed support for 32-bit application which broke Wine).
You could use CrossOver (from CodeWeavers) - this should work, but it is not a free option.
If you want to run GPRO Organiser on a Mac then I would run it within a Windows10 virtual machine (using VirtualBox for example) as this will be a lot less pain in the long run.

Thanks Martin. I have Parallels but I let the license expire as I don't have a need for it currently. Just a shame that there isn't a web-based version of the Organiser I guess.
