The forum

I'm a total noob at this, so I apologize in advance for sounding dumb.  I'd be very grateful for help getting Cryptocrack running on my Mac using PlayOnMac.   Cryptocrack is one of the best classical cipher solvers out there (for solving cryptograms, Vigenere ciphers, etc -- it isn't used for hacking at all), but it is only available for Windows.  The developer has suggested Mac users try Wine, but I haven't been able to get anywhere with it (probably because I have no idea what I'm doing).  Could I please beg for some help from the geniuses who frequent these boards?  Thanks in advance.

It is not listed in wineHQ's appdb, so I am not sure exactly what it would need to run. Can you post your system specs and full debug logs? That might help.

I'm on a mid-2011 iMac running OSX 10.10.3.   Since my previous post I've been able to get the application loaded into PlayOnMac and actually running.  The application is crashing frequently, though.

 

Here's an excerpt from the debug logs

Try to install gdiplus from Install Components. 

I tried that and it is still crashing.

One thing I've noticed is that when I start the application, it tells me it can't find the dictionary and language files that are in the same directory with it.  I've used the Options menu item in the app to directly point the path to those files, but it still gives me that error message again when I restart the application.  Could that be the problem?  How do I get those files included some how? 

 

Thanks for all your help!
