NanoFL under Mac OS X

NanoFL 3.0.5 currently only features a .exe binary for windows. The program itself is wrapped with XULRunner from Mozilla and that makes it easy to run natively on Mac OS X.

If you have a current Firefox there is no need to install XULRunner(which anyway seems deprecated). You can execute XULRunner apps with -app switch. Use Wine to install the game and then copy the installation folder somewhere accessible. In the terminal you then execute the following to start NanoFL.

/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -app 
/Users/headchant/Downloads/nanofl/application.ini

or more generic

/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -app /path/to/your/application.ini

Use no line breaks and edit the path to your installation of NanoFL.

This should start NanoFL inside a Firefox instance with almost all features as the windows version. Have fun! Screen Shot 2016-04-07 at 14.10.08
