Contents
macOS
Here are two possibilities for getting STx running on macOS. They are, however, untested:
WineBottler
You can try using WinBottler (previously called Darwine). This is a port of WINE for macOS.
Virtual Machine
You can install a Windows virtual machine using software like Parallels Desktop or VirtualBox. You will need a Windows license.
Linux
PlayOnLinux under Ubuntu 17.10
The following are settings which have been helpful in getting STx to run under WINE using PlayOnLinux.
WINE configuration
Graphics
- Disable "Allow the window manager to decorate the windows"
- Enable "Allow the window manager to control the windows"
WINE
If STx can't find an audio device, there may be a problem with the permissions in the .wine
folder. One user found that this folder was not owned by them, but rather by root
. They deleted the .wine
folder, and started STx with wine stx.exe
thereby recreating the .wine
directory. The audio device was then found by STx.
