SportTracks on Mac OSX

onnoweb · Joined: 06 Aug 2009 Posts: 1 Location: Rochester, NY

This morning installed the MonoFramework 2.4 and ran SportTracks. It works quite well. There are some redrawing issues but in the initial use (startup, loading a ride recording with Garmin Edge 705) no big issues yet. The route shows, the data is there.

I'll post more as I play with it more.

I couldn't figure out how to get this to work. I have installed Mono and downloaded Sporttracks. What next, any tips?

Worked fine for me. Download and install the latest Mono framework, then download and unpack the .tar.gz archive from the Downloads page. Using the terminal, to to that directory and run:

mono SportTracks.exe

Now, while I'd say "yes, it runs", it's not terribly usable right now. My guess is we're gonna have to wait for Mono 2.6 (supposedly around September) to clean up the widgets and such in OSX. Right now it doesn't take very much use before the windows get fairly horribly jacked up. Popups won't go away and lots of things that appear decidedly Mono in nature. But the future is somewhat bright that this might just work ultimately, which is cool. I applaud the SportTracks authors for even caring that this is possible, too.

I'm an old school Linux guy who now uses a Mac for his desktop pretty exclusively, but I'm also friends with the guy who started the Mono project (Miguel D'Icaza). So if any of you guys on the SportTracks team have noted anything in Mono that doesn't appear to be getting addressed that you really need, please let me know and I'll see what I can do.

I see the Mono 2.6 release which includes the much needed Windows.Forms updates for Mac OS X has been pushed back to November 2009: http://www.mono-project.com/Roadmap

On one hand this is good, as it should mean better support and stability.

Has anyone tried compiling the current 2.6 build source code on OS X to see what the status of support is?

i'm taking a look at mono 2.6 however, according to the build matrix, the build is currently broken for intel mac.

i'm getting my dev environment set up on my macbook pro and will report any successes.

Ok, so the 2.6 build is definitely roached. I was able to hack some stuff to get the build started as either the configure scripts or the initial build script doesn't correctly detect the Darwin platform so none of the #defines are set. Once that was taken care of the build proceeded nicely until I got an undefined reference error in the garbage collection code.

While this is not the same error as the latest build log: http://mono.ximian.com/monobuild/builds/HEAD/macos-10-x86/mono/141896/logs/build.log, the error still appears to be in the garbage collection code.

I'll either setup a task to do nightly svn ups and builds or check the build status page daily for OSX.

From here: http://mono.ximian.com/monobuild/preview/download-preview/

I can confirm it will launch on OSX Snow Leopard. Not all the functionality works (activity list view section treats all mouse clicks as right-clicks and you can't scroll) and some works spotty (drop-downs stay open, even if you navigate away from that view, until you select something).

Additionally, the L&F is off and you cannot add a device. There are plenty of other limitations, but it can open existing logbooks and load activity data as well as maps of workouts w/ GPS data.

It's not really usable in its current form, but it's better than before.

MONO 2.6 was just released with a huge number of Windows.Forms updates. It should be much more stable on Mac OSX, please post any feedback here:

I got sporttracks to work on crossover-mac today!

If someone is intrested here is a quick guide;

1)First creat a new bottle, choose a win2000-bottle
2)Then install IE6,
3)After that install .net framework 2
4)And finally install the sporttracks.exe file in your bottle you created.

Works perfect on my intel macbook with snowleopard!

I'm also a huge fan of Sporttracks but my problem is also setting it up on a mac. In the beginning I ran it on a Windows and it ran smoothly but can you guys help me install it on the mac? I've read the other posts many times but I can't understand it, so if you could do a more detailed tutorial of how to do it with installing mono and so on...?

Thanks!

I have just joined the forum and also recently changed to a Mac.

Question here is I have intalled Mono suggested, the next steps are new to me and I still not sure even how to unpack files and type in scripts. Sounds dumb, but I am sure there are users that mat need step by step guidance here to try set it up.

Any help will do.

Hi,

I've created an installer (.dmg) which could be used to easily install and use SportTracks on OS X. I've sent this to admin so that it could be made available here, but haven't received a response. Perhaps my email has been blocked for containing executable content? Who knows. Either way, I'd be happy to share, but I'm not sure what the best method of doing this is. I don't want to host it myself, and it doesn't really fit as a plugin either. Any thoughts?

Reggie.

Reggie. It's in my inbox, pending review.

Just got SportTracks up and running on OS X with Snow Leopard, largely thanks to an installer sent to me to test. No maps, no plugins, no devices as yet, but usable to at least upload from the 'Device' folder.

Well not mine, but hopefully with the help of somebody else. Three things I really would like to be able to do with my Mac install:

1 - Maps
2 - Upload using Garmin Communicator - currently loading .tcx files from ANT Agent
3 - Install plugins

Is there anyone reading this can help? I don't want a virtual environment, I already have that with Windoze.

My Unix skills are rudimentary to say the least so please do not fire any overly technical questions my way. There's too many gaps in my knowledge to answer with any sense of cohenrence
