Install mIRC on your mac!

I don’t know about most of you, but I personally prefer using mIRC as my primary IRC client. Unfortunately however mIRC was not designed to work on Mac OSX (and colloquy just doesn’t do the trick for me). So I decided I’d try installing mIRC on my Mac and it ended successfully, so here are the steps that I took to installing it:

  1. Download mIRC from http://www.mirc.com/get.html
  2. Download Darwine from: http://www.kronenberg.org/darwine/
  3. Mount the Darwine DMG and drag both the darwine and trix folders into the application folder
  4. Go into the Darwine folder (located in applications) and run WineHelper
  5. You’ll see a process window pop up, go to the application drop down menu and select Open (or hit command O), in here select the mIRC.exe install we downloaded earlier.
  6. Now the install for mIRC will popout (just like how it looks on windows, it’s normal if an error pops up right before mIRC’s install comes up), then in here install just like you would for windows EXCEPT make sure you uncheck all additional tasks (desktop/start menu icons, etc)
  7. Now mirc is installed and functional on your computer, to open it, go to WineHelper again, go to application->open and go to /program files/mIRC/mirc.exe/ select that and mirc should run ☺ (to make life a little bit easier, you can copy that short cut anywhere so you can open it up easily in the future)

If you plan on using Justin.tv with mIRC, then follow this guide for an easy way of doing that.
