Running TenFourFox Intel with FoxBoxes

It's possible to run FoxBoxes on Intel. The following instructions will guide you in this process.
Website: http://tenfourfox.com/box

Prerequisites

Only tested on Mac OS X 10.5.8 Intel.
In order to run a FoxBox on Intel, you need TenFourFoxBox version 1.0 or later.

You need to download FoxBoxes

You can dowload TenFourFoxBox here: http://tenfourfox.com/box/TenFourFoxBox-1.0.1.dmg.zip

You need to specify to FoxBoxes where you installed TenFourFox Intel

To do that you need to create a symbolic link (alias) relinking to TenFourFox and named TenFourFoxBoxRunner.app in your Applications folder. This process is described in two possible ways below.

Application way

Go on https://github.com/OlgaTPark/tenfourfox/wiki/en-FFmpeg-Support and dowload the FFmpeg Enabler utility. Run FFmpeg Enabler and choose the TenFourFox application that you want to use with FoxBoxes. Then, choose the Use this version for TenFourFoxBox option and you're done!

After that, FoxBoxes should find TenFourFox Intel correctly.

Command-line way

You can create this link by opening /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app and by typing in the command prompt the following, followed by the return key.
ln -s _/path/to/TenFourFox.app_ /Applications/TenFourFoxBoxRunner.app
You can drop the TenFourFox application directly in the terminal window.

  • If you're using TenFiveFox, the command should be: ln -s /Applications/TenFiveFox.app /Applications/TenFourFoxBoxRunner.app
  • If you're using TenFourFox, the command should be: ln -s /Applications/TenFourFox.app /Applications/TenFourFoxBoxRunner.app
  • If you're using TenSixFox, the command should be: ln -s /Applications/TenSixFox.app /Applications/TenFourFoxBoxRunner.app
