Monika, fyi, you can run Quantshare on Mac and Linux but its quite an involved process. If you are not familiar with unix tools and the command line, you wont get far in this direction. The alternative is to run Quantshare inside a windows virtual machine provided your mac has enough RAM to spare. It works equally well using Vmware Fusion or Parallel Desktop (or for free, the Oracle Virtualbox)
For later reference on the direct WINE solution. Its messy, but it works.
- You need to use the wine emulator. On macos, install it with "Homebrew". Also install winetricks.
- Your wine installation needs dotnet4.5
$ winetricks dotnet45 win7
- native gdiplus library (otherwise charts wont show)
$ winetricks gdiplus
- Then it needs some font fixing to have menus/items display correctly
$ winetricks vcrun2010 corefonts
# and
$ winetricks allfonts fontfix fontsmooth-rgb
- Also, in order for the modal dialogs (save as,...) to work, (to solve a `commdlg.dll` / `comdlg32.dll` problem) you need to :
`winecfg` => `Applications` => choose `Windows XP` (and not `Windows 7`)
- at this stage, you can install Quantshare fine
$ wine QuantShareInstaller.exe
If you've gone that far, you probably know how to troubleshoot WINE problems, the thing is to read the logs and detect the Windows OS errors, then paste them in google and hunt for a fix. Though I have not had problems using the "usual" functionalities of quantshare this way, I would not recommend it. A few weeks after that, I just dedicated a windows VPS to running it, and don't use the local version very much.
