Other Operating Systems
WACHandler is a native Windows 32-bit
application, however, thanks to third-party Windows environment
emulators, WACHandler can also be used on machines using Linux or Mac
OS X as operating systems.
Using WACHandler on Linux
WACHandler has been tested with
Ubuntu version 8.10 using Wine version 1.1.17
Set up
- Download and install Wine
from the Wine webpage which also
contains detailed instructions on how to install Wine in different
Linux distros.
- Download and install WineTricks
from here. The webpage contains installation
information.
- Start WineTricks and activate
the following "tricks" (Windows components) :
- directx9
- jet40
- mdac28
- wininet
- wmp10
Running
Just double-click the WACHandler.exe file and Wine will launch it
automatically.
Notes
- No audio playback is possible.
- Reading Audio CD's doesn't seem
to work.
- WACHandler can't change the IP
settings in Ubuntu, and therefore it can't detect a WAC with factory
settings (default IP settings).
Using
WACHandler on Mac OS X
WACHandler has been tested with Mac
OS X version 10.5.6 using CrossOver Pro version 7.1.
Many thanks to Gertie for testing all this and sending the screenshot
for me.
Set up
Download and install Crossover from
their webpage. Please note that this is a commercial software.
Running
Double-click the
WACHandler.exe icon and it will be lauched automatically.
