CrossOver/Mac: how to show the toolbar of the PB IDE?

[Octopus]

It seems to me that I have had to do something additional during its installation.

I have made a simple installation into a Win XP bottle, because the Mac version still seems to have some weaknesses (e.g. no editor font selection is possible yet). Now under CrossOver there the toolbar has not been displayed, despite of the idea of small empty boxes, which probably therein should contain icons, which unfortunately are not yet displayed.

What have I to do to get it work properly there? Or is PB not Crossover/Wine compatible?

It's probably the other way around: Wine/Crossover is not PB compatiable

I tried with CrossOver on Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6. This did not work.
If you have an old Windows XP Licence in your desk, try Virtualbox (virtualbox.org). I use this on my MacBook Pro for 2 months now to compile with PureBasic for windows... Runs very well without any Windows-window if you like...

@jamirokwai: of course virtualization does it. Personally I am using VMware Fusion 3.0.0 which has an acceptable speed.

Some ideas to use crossover are based on its low storage consumption and the nearly generic execution speed, IF a software could be COMPATIBLY installed. Additionally it is a good drosophila for to test window applications to be multi Window release aware. If a program is able to run well under crossover / wine, it probably would do on every Window release equal or above the bottle OS.

PB runs on all Windows since 95. We don't plan to support emulators, let's be serious...

Why don't you try contacting the authors of this CrossOver product instead?

Sorry to dig up such an old thread but I'm trying to get Purebasic to work using crossover on the MAC.

Everything works fine except for the toolbar not displaying in IDE or in any compiled apps. I've tried the toolbars.pb example and this doesn't display the toolbar either.

I've sent an email to Crossover support and have had a response suggesting that I may need to install some supporting files into my crossover bottle.

Does anyone have any idea what might be missing from crossover that is part of windows as standard and would affect the displaying of toolbars?

I've got a toolbar after installing comctl32.dll on funtoo linux. not testet with crossover, just with wine.

Thanks for the tip TomyB.

I just tried adding comctl32 to the Crossover bottle but it hasn't made any difference.
I guess there must be other Dlls missing that I also require. I'll try a few other and if I figure it out I'll post back here for future reference.
