--- Comment #8 from Reinhold reinhold.hoffmann@hotmail.com --- Hi Anastasius,
Thanks, again.
Here are my answers:
Did this ever work on Mac OS X? If yes:
[Reinhold] Yes, we have been using Winebottler's solution since mid 2014 because at that time no official Wine binary for Mac was available by WineHQ.
- which Notation Composer version range
[Reinhold] With Composer 3 since 2014 using Winebottler's Mac solution which was based on Wine 1.7.37 at that time
- did you switch MSVC++/MFC versions in between
[Reinhold] No, same MSVC++/MFC version. Composer 3 is 32-bit, Composer 4 is 64-bit with the MFC libs in x64, of course.
- which Wine version range? 32-bit or 64-bit?
[Reinhold] Composer 3 - 32-bit from Wine 1.7.37 till Wine 2.0 using Winebottler's Wine solution. On Linux up to Wine 5.9 until today for testing. Composer 4 - 64-bit from Wine 4.0 onwards on Linux for testing and on Mac from Wine 5.0 till Wine 5.4 using our own compiled dmg package. The reason for an own dmg package is that Catalina only allows 64-bit. The official WineHQ pkg does not run on Catalina. Our own package simply includes the x64 binary from the WineHQ page (..-osx64.tar.gz) and customizes it for a simple usage by our customers. We have an installation guide available for dummmies. See https://www.notation.com/download/Installation-Guides/Mac-Notation-Installat.... But all of the logging here was done on El Capitan using the official pkg Wine 5.7 from the WineHQ page.
- which Mac OS X version (before El Capitan)?
[Reinhold] OS X Mavericks, Yosemite
Do you have any Mac OS X specific code paths in the app related to user interface (MFC)?
[Reinhold] No
What exactly do you mean by "freeze"? The app doesn't respond anymore to mouse clicks?
[Reinhold] Yes, with "freeze" I mean: Scenario 1 from this post: the mouse moves, the mouse icon is Composer's but no mouse click works. The (step 2 of 2) dialog cannot be finished nor cancelled. Scenario 2 from this post: please see the screen shot attached where the freeze happens in (step 4 of 5). The NEXT button from page (step 3 of 5) still stays pressed. The dialog content is only partly displayed. In both cases the wine64-preloader needs to be killed by the Mac Force Quit feature. Btw. Composer 3 (32-bit on El Capitan with Wine 5.7 from the WineHQ page) does not freeze in these scenarios.
What happens if you try to resize the window (bottom right corner), no redraw?
[Reinhold] The dialogs are not resizable.
BTW did you change the default Windows version from 'Windows 7' to something else in the WINEPREFIX? Some trace log lines seem to indicate that. If yes, why.
[Reinhold] No, I used the winecfg tool and changed Windows 7 to Windows 10
