Development log
- LabChirp 1.60!
Dec 16, 2019
Chicken el toro mac os. Log in with itch.io to leave a comment.
I can't figure out how to get Mono to open this on the Mac. Using the terminal throws up a bunch of errors and it won't open in the Finder because it's not recognized as a application
It's actually possible to package a Mono app for Mac OS so it's easier for Mac users to run. I think the developer should do it. I found this info here
macpack (Mac OS X only)
macpack is a tool that must be used to bundle Cocoa# applications into Double-Clickable, Finder friendly, bundles on Mac OS X. It bundles static libraries and resources, as well as generates a basic info.plist into the .app bundle.
For example the following commands are used to build the CurrencyConverter.exe into an application bundle:
The resulting CurrencyConverter.app is just another Mac OS X application as far as the Finder is concerned, and can be opened from Finder, or launched from Terminal using the open -a CurrencyConverter command.
Sorry, I can't help you with the 'bunch of errors' you get. I don't have a Mac, so I can't test LabChirp on Mac myself, but I know of a few people who have got it working through Mono. After installing Mono, all you should have to do is open a terminal and type mono LabChirp.exe (or the full path to LabChirp). For instance, on Linux I can open a terminal and type mono '/home/labbed/Downloads/LabChirp/LabChirp.exe' and it works. For convenience, you could create a terminal script for future use.
LabChirp is not a Mono application, or a Cocoa# application. It is a .NET application. So I don't think I can use macpack.
However, I've heard that .NET CORE has a lot better native compatibility with Mac (and Linux), so I might give that a try for a future release if it isn't too much of a hassle to migrate.
Thanks for responding. I will try .NET core because Mono just isn’t working. I wonder if other people are having the same problem as me. I’ll let you know if .NET core works
Were you able to get LabChirp up and running on OS X? I'm a Mac user, would love to have an executable file for sound design!
Nope! It was a lot of work and I couldn’t figure it out. I think the developer ought to create a guide
This tool is seriously awesome. I think its presets are better than sfxr. I am gonna use it in my games!
Why is this marked as Linux and Mac compatible? It only comes with an .exe file..
Because you can run it through Mono, and it works.
Alright, I checked and it does! Sweet! Although some note mentioning that would be helpful ?
Edit:
I also updated Wine in my system from 4.0 to 5.0 and it works with Wine as well.
It is mentioned when you download it (under the 'Download and install instructions from Labbed' section) and also on my website download page (http://labbed.net/software/labchirp/). However, it should probably be mentioned on the itch.io page as well! And perhaps in the manual.
I did not know it works with Wine! I've tried it before (several years ago) and it didn't work, which is why I tell people to use Mono. I will give it another try with the newest version and see how it works. Thanks for letting me know!
Good luck with your future game projects! And have a nice day!
It just occured to me that you could also make a 'start.sh' sort of bash script that would simply execute 'mono LabChirp.exe'.
Then mark it as Linux executable in the manifest so the itch client app can start it for the user, as long as Mono is installed.

This is one of the most incredible things I have ever seen.
We just used this to create all the sounds for our Viroids game.
Many thanks, it's a great tool.
Awesome to see it here on itch!

Too bad it's still hacky for Linux/OSX users to use it.

I can't figure out how to make it work on Mac either
