WARNING: Try this at your own risk. It worked for me, and nothing broke.
Here's what I did:
1) Download the Darwine 0.9.43 disk image.
I got it here: http://scottdangel.com/blog/?p=14 (At the bottom of his post)
I also mirrored it on my own site here: http://stuporglue.org/downloads/Darwine0.9.43.a.dmg
2) Open the dmg, and copy the entire Darwine folder to your Applications folder
2.1) I ran one of the programs in their "Sample WineLib Applications" folder. The first time Darwine runs, it needs to configure some things. I'm not sure if this step is needed, or if it'll happen when you run the PAF installer.
2.2) Optional, but recomended -- Install libfreetype2 -- See instructions below.
Without libfreetype2, the fonts will be choppy and ugly (but it will still work)
3) Download PAF from FamilySearch.org
http://www.familysearch.org/eng/home/we ... wnload.asp
4) The PAF installer should have the Darwine Platypus icon, and you should be able to just double click it to install it!
Running PAF
Wine programs get installed into the folder /Users/youUserName/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files
The easiest way to run PAF is to make a symlink to it in the Applications folder.
Open a terminal and enter:
Code: Select all
ln -s ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/FamilySearch/Paf5/paf5.exe /Applications/paf5.exe
Optional -- Installing FreeType2
Using Fink is the easiest way to do this. Fink will ask you for your Admin password several times. Probably once or twice for each operation.
1) Download the Fink package manager here:
http://www.finkproject.org/download/index.php
You want the latest Binary Installer
2) Open the DMG and run the installer package
3) Open the FinkCommander folder in the DMG and drag-and-drop Fink Commander into your Applications folder.
4) Run Fink Commander
Open the Fink Commander preferences
Choose the Fink tab
Check "Use unstable packages"
Click "Ok"
5) Update Fink's package list
In the menu "Binary" choose "Update Descriptions"
6) In Fink Commander's search bar, search for 'freetype2'
Sort the search results by the 'binary' column, and select the first six packages, which should be : freetype2, freetype2-dev freetype2-shilbs, freetype219, freetype219-shlibs
7) Click the blue plus sign icon on the left side of the Fink Commander menu bar to install those packages
This will do the actual install of these packages
8) Link the Fink library directory to the normal Mac directory
Note: If you play with Unixy stuff on your mac, the following may not apply since you may already have a /usr/local/lib directory. If you do, you probably already know how to work around this.
8.1) Open a terminal make sure that /usr/local exists, if not, make it (just copy and paste this):
Code: Select all
sudo mkdir /usr/local
8.2) Link /usr/local/lib to /sw/lib (just copy and paste this):
Code: Select all
sudo ln -s /sw/lib/ /usr/local/lib/
