hey dcaruso77,

whilst playing last night I stumbled upon the info that the latest builds (215 demo/ 214 Live) do now work with crossover. I have not changed my setup this end so I can only conclude MT4 has had a bit of code removed.

I got MT4 working via darwine & because it goes through x11 it is not as responsive & the graphics are bitty. As soon as I tested updates now work I stopped looking for a solution for the missing icon problem.

It is good to know that darwine is there as a last resort. But crossover is far superior & offer a trial version for everyone to test to see if it meets there needs.

If in the future I have to start using darwine then time looking for a solution would be worth while.

max pips,

getting MT4 on Mac via crossover is easy, go to the thread that discusses how to via the link on the first page of this thread.

FF is full of back data that many people have found solutions for problems that seem to be new to people who come along, but most are just the same repeated.

Actually I loaded crossover up but didn't try it as I read what you said about it not working. Now I shall try again.
thanks mate

Got MT4 working great via the latest version of crossover, however i'd like to code my own EA's. MetaEditor works great *except* that it won't compile - aborts with a missing driver message (but no indication of which one). Kind of defeats the purpose.

Anyone get MetaEditor to compile (mq4->ex4) on a mac using crossover? Or any alternative way to compile mq4 code, perhaps external to the MT4 platform?

I recognise that the VMfusion/Parallels route is superior (i.e. everything will just "work") but am trying to avoid the whole windows install thing.

Thanks

Can you please tell me more details about you what you do and how exactly it works?

Thanks.

for those that the mt4 has failed to run on there mac book just download any mt4 of in dmg format it will run
