Following on from Weiqi's "Cross-Platform As Long As It's Windows, Solaris, Linux/x86?", I decided to install Together from the Linux installer. Although my hacking skillz have been exhausted, I did manage to get the GUI installer to run. It doesn't do anything but I got a screenshot!

As you can see, the installer knows I have a Mac, it's just Borland that doesn't. In summary ... I downloaded the 53Mb bin file (about 20 times because they have a dodgy download site) and ran it from the command line. The extraction of the JDK works, but of course it's a Linux JDK and my Mac doesn't like that. After several attempts, the installation files were left in /tmp and here you can unextract the Together install image and run the installer, which doesn't work. There seem to be some binary files associated with Together Designer CE and I think this is where the problem lies. Hopefully Borland will produce a Mac edition, and hopefully it'll run as fast as other platforms. ;-)
