It is possible to run Huggle on non-Windows OSs, using a program called Wine. Wine works on both Linux and Mac. Wine does not support the PowerPC architecture. Before following these instructions, you should have a valid Windows License. Please note that you'll need to use non-free libraries in order to get Huggle to run (on Windows, Mac OS X or GNU/Linux).

Huggle 2.19 working.

Instructions

edit
  1. Ensure that you have X11 installed. If you are on Mac OS X Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion or on any graphical GNU/Linux_distribution (e.g. Ubuntu), you're fine. Mac OS X Tiger users must install it.
    Make sure you have enough space left on your device. A lot of software has to be installed that huggle depends on. A few GB should be enough.
  2. Download and install Wine
    Mac OS X: http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/wine/ (or use the en:MacPorts version of Wine (sudo port install wine))
    Linux: http://www.winehq.org/download
    Alternative for en:Debian and en:Ubuntu users: Type sudo apt-get install wine in the Terminal, however the Wine program acquired by this method is likely to be very out of date.
  3. Open up the Terminal (Mac OS X: located in Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app)
  4. In the terminal:
    1. curl http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks > /tmp/winetricks
      If curl is not installed, install it (Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install curl) and re-run the command
    2. (Darwine users only) export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Darwine/Wine.bundle/Contents/bin:~/Applications/Darwine/Wine.bundle/Contents/bin:"/Applications/TRiX.app/Contents/Resources/bin"
    3. sh /tmp/winetricks -q tahoma liberation gecko dotnet20 msi2 fontfix mono28 allfonts gdiplus ie8
      If cabextract is not installed, install it (Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install cabextract) and re-run the command
      Click through all installers that pop up.
  5. Download and open up Huggle. Good luck!

If you have any problems you can visit Huggle's page on the Wine App Database here [1] where you can ask for help and contact Wine developers.

  4. haha, there we go. took running the last command a few times, and installing IE6 twice (That means when it prompted me, I selected the "reinstall all components option"), and it loads the diffs now. At the very least, the full version works. I have yet to test the lite version Both versions work. The font is ugly as sin though, and very small... and some things overlap other things so it looks rather ugly, but it still works :D. Until It Sleeps 21:14, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Some moderate success on Mac OS X for me. Still seems unstable, and the installers were all somewhat wonky, but after several do overs, it seems to be working "reasonably". —TheDJ (talkcontribs) 22:22, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  10. (Mostly) works on OS X Leopard (10.5.8) with Wine 1.2-rc2 (from MacPorts): The menu bar can't be drawn (but the menus still work if you know where to click), it pops up a few errors on startup (which can be dismissed), the fonts look absolutely terrible, and the program overall is a bit slow, but hey, it works! ~SpK 17:04, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  11. Works, but its slow... LegoKontribsTalkM 02:31, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  12. Got it working on Mac OS 10.6.6 with the WineBottler distro. I had the same menu bar issues and start-up error that SpK had above, but I was able to fix that by installing gdiplus as well using winetricks. Might want to add that to the instructions above if it won't break anything. Zachlipton (talk) 06:53, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  13. After installing ie8 and gdiplus along with the others, it works perfectly, and has a Wine Platinum rating, which is very rare. --123Hedgehog456 : Create an account! 15:06, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you get greek, then not all the font packages finished installing. Try using Trix.app to install "tahoma" and "allfonts". I think i ran all the installs in the end trough Trix.app, seemed to work more reliable than downloading winetricks manually in the Terminal —TheDJ (talkcontribs) 16:03, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
