I’m now running the great editor quanta under MacOSX! It runs realy nice. This is how I did it. Firt I’ve downloaded and installed ‘Fink‘, that’s an ‘apt-get’ for MacOS X / Darwin. (Just like the debian apt-get!). Install and run ‘FinkCommander’, the GUI for fink. Now search for ‘quanta’ and install it. You also nead the ‘kdepim3′ packages (also in fink) so you can use the scp/sftp upload function called ‘fish’, sftp doesn’t work but fish does the trick. You also need the ‘X11‘ package from Apple. (Xdarwin will be installed by Fink but when you use XDarwin, you’ll have to start kdeinit and quanta manualy. I use X11
only because it’s easyer with AppleScript.) So now you should have everything to execute quanta. I’ve written this little AppleScript to fire up Quanta:run application “X11″do shell script “/sw/bin/kdeinit”do shell script “/sw/bin/quanta -display :0.0″…saved it as an application and dubble clicked it and opend a bottle of beer. Here you can download my quanta applescript as an application. Have fun with your quanta!
