Make a SDAC win32 application run on OSX
Posted: Mon 29 Nov 2010 10:55
Did yuo ever try to install sql server native client on Macintosh? I mean by using tools as http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/ or other tools?
Of course I develop win32 applications, but from time to time I lose potential sales because the customer has also that Mac machine and he doesn't want to hear about "virtual machines" or "remote desktop".
With winebottler (or other products? I know only about winebottler) it is possible to run exes built with Delphi on Mac, for example my application login screen appears, but then there is a connection problem (of course: no native client is there!)
Is there a way to fix this? Since you are experts in the DB connection field may be do you already have tried and solved this.
Thanks.
