phpDesigner 6.2.5.1 Tips

Getting PHPDesigner to run on Mac

PHP Designer should install fine, but you will not get past the splash screen when you start it. To get it working you will need some additional stuff. Easiest to use winetricks. (Based on this note http://zephid.dk/2008/07/01/using-phpdesigner-under-linux/ )

Steps I followed were:

- Create new winxp bottle
- Select Programs->Run Command (from crossover menu)
- Select new botle and click
- I already had Darwinports for Mac installed (http://darwinports.com/)
- install wget and cabextract (with darwinports you do this with)
         sudo port install wget
         sudo port install cabextract
- add env variable for winetricks, this will be something like below on crossover 7.1 on Mac, replace with your machines username and the bottlename you just created.
        export WINEPREFIX=/Users//Library/Application\ Support/CrossOver/Bottles/
- wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks && sh winetricks msxml6 msxml3 riched20
- install phpdesigner in the usual way, if not already installed
- restart bottle
- fire up phpdesigner
