Just in case anyone else doesn't know this and is using Wine to use Steve's Windows client on a Mac, as of right now, Wine still doesn't work on the latest version of Mac OSX.

The Wine website says there is a version 5 due out soon, the source is available but the [binaries are not available yet](https://www.winehq.org/news/2020012101).

Slightly OT, but if anyone is interested in testing @josecgomez' cross-platform client and library project on the Mac, that would be great. Please note that there are no "releases" yet, and the client is in a very early stage. But if anyone with a Mac has some experience in building a .NET Core project from source or wants to give it a try (it really shouldn't be too hard), we'd be glad to hear it!

I'm happy to test a binary but my days of compiling source ended 30 years ago with C++ back during my PhD.

I understand, @brianoflondon, but it probably sounds scarier than it actually is.

Just to give you an idea, the steps to build the whole solution would involve:
  • Downloading or cloning the GitHub repo to a local folder on the Mac
  • Downloading and installing the .NET Core 3.1 SKD for Mac at https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download
  • Opening a terminal, entering the project directory and typing
    dotnet build

Steps followed and Microsoft .net installed but the dotnet command isn't available is there another step I'm missing? Is there some kind of front end to .net?

Scratch that, needed to open a new terminal window. Duhhhh.

Exciting... haven't built for years!!! I'm feeling young again.

OK, what next?

Great, this means that everything built correctly! That's already a great indicator for us.

The client is in active development and I've just noticed that today's snapshot is probably not well suited for test running the UI, since Jose is actively testing and fiddling around. Sorry!

I'll let you know when running the client makes sense again. Looking forward to the first ever run of a sqrl client project built natively for the Mac.

Thanks for your effort, Brian, I'll get back to you!

If you still feel lucky, and for future reference, the command to run the client UI is

dotnet run --project SQRLDotNetClientUI

Please note however, that - as mentioned earlier - what comes up currently might not make any sense because of the active development by Jose.

Yeah sorry guys I'll get a stable commit out there and work on a branch.
I'm working on getting a MVP out the door then we can add bells on branches .

ok @brianoflondon I think its "stable" right now so if you want to clone and re-build. It should be able to import an identity existing or generate a new one also export one. It doesn't yet do the authentication (that's in the development phase) but those basic functions should work I'd love a test (and some screenshots if you can) I don't have a mac.
It should look something like this (I hope, this is an Ubuntu screenshot)

one thing you will need the libgdiplus (on Linux I'm guessing on a Mac too)
On a mac that would be

brew install mono-libgdiplus (I think, #NotAMacUser)

We will have binaries and scripts for all these eventually.


and thank you for all your help @ahauser !!!!!

I'm not 100% sure I managed to pull down a new copy from github. I'm using a programming editor called Coda but I'm rather hazy on how Git and source control works. I did do a rebuild before I tried the dotnet run command.

What is the correct command to update my local git repository from the command line and then I can figure out how to do that inside Coda.

Oh that's because you built in debug mode and the project is passing command line param url
Run it in release mode or just do
dotnet run <dll> in the debug Folder

OK... so I tried this:

HiroBar-3:SQRL Client Git bol$ dotnet run --project SQRLDotNetClientUI/bin/Debug/netcoreapp3.1/SQRLDotNetClientUI.dll

/Users/bol/Documents/Brian of London/BrianofLondon Web/SQRL Client Git/SQRLDotNetClientUI/bin/Debug/netcoreapp3.1/SQRLDotNetClientUI.dll(1,1): error MSB4025: The project file could not be loaded. Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.

The build failed. Fix the build errors and run again.

@brianoflondon, if you reference the full path to the dll, you must omit the --project parameter.

So it's either
dotnet run SQRLDotNetClientUI/bin/Debug/netcoreapp3.1/SQRLDotNetClientUI.dll

or just
dotnet run --project SQRLDotNetClientUI

Or just wait for Jose to get you something which is more easily digestable. 😀

Definitely neither of those are working. I would like the pleasure of knowing I can still download and compile something :)
