Mac OS X compatibility?

[mtivadar]

Qiew wasn't tested on MAC OS X. It should work, hopefully with minor modifications.

[DamianFekete]

• change distorm3* to distorm3 in requirements.txt
• sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
• install home-brew, qt4, sip

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)”
brew install qt
brew install sip
brew install pyqt

Installing sip installs python 2.7 in /usr/local/bin, and puts in front of the /usr/bin in path. Change header qiew.py to

#!/usr/bin/env python2

After this qiew starts but doesn't receive key events (it does receive mouse clicks in the window).
I've moved the event filter to Qiew and than it works (shift-keys don't work to select, they just move the cursor):

• I'm also calling Qiew.raise_(), otherwise the window appears in the background.

selection doesn't work, perhaps transparency doesn't work? Have you tried selecting a section? ALT+S then F9 on a section.

[DamianFekete]

Transparency works.
Also trying to dump the "selection" using the Ctrl-F10 shows the "no-selection" message in the console. I guess that "fix" above in the diff is not complete.

[mtivadar]

can you try again? some changes have been done. (fixes for linux)

[DamianFekete]

Selection still doesn't work. But keys work and window appears in front.
Please change

#!/usr/bin/python

with

#!/usr/bin/env python2

because I'm starting the brew python version.

It would be nice to have a icon for the window :)

If you want to test more maybe I can set you an account on the laptop.

[mtivadar]

am schimbat '#!/usr/bin/python'.
o să am nevoie de user probabil, pentru că eu nu am contact cu MAC. nu știu ce poate fi cu selecția.. probabil nu suportă transparency.

deci eventual să-mi faci cont.. da cam într-o săptămână..

[DamianFekete]

Dacă citești ceva mai sus vezi că merge transparency.

[mtivadar]

Da, ciudat. Poate nu recunoaște shift apăsat atunci

Works greatly on OSX 10.10
I've just done some basic editing, and it seems work well except lack of support for key shortcuts, since I'm using the laptop macbook air.
By the way, does it support mouse?

qiew is one of the a few hex editor with disassmbly support on OSX, but it's still on early stage. I believe you shall make a promotion about qiew on Hackernews or some other forums and blog.
:D

[mtivadar]

Thanks! It does not support mouse yet. I'll try to figure it out what to do with the shortcuts also. Thanks for the suggestions also!
