There is no executable for mac (we have not finish the starter) But you can start it when you use your own tor on the right ports: [1:54:00 - Config] Using 11158 as socks port and 8976 as local port. And go to the Config in data/config/settings.ini and change loadPortableTor to 0 The problem is we have no mac system to test it for portable start.

rafmagana do you know how to get just the tor binaries for mac by itself?

[zerotamaitsu]

Also if you really want it to work at the moment, you can try manually installing tor, and adding a PATH to the "tor" executable.

[rafmagana]

@zerotamaitsu I don't know :(

I'm using Vidalia, I will check out about adding a PATH to the tor executable, thanks.

[zerotamaitsu]

let us know if it works. It was added as a contingency (when linux wasn't supported natively) a few versions ago... but lots has changed, and it hasn't been tested since.

There is a tor executable at /Applications/TorBrowser_en-US.app/Contents/MacOS/tor on my install, but you cannot depend upon that path under Mac OS X. If you like, I could find script to locate tor via the Tor browser bundle, starting Vidalia if necessary. I presume the tor daemon itself should always be started by Vidalia, not TorChat, otherwise it'll never receive the bridge configuration for ISPs that censor Tor.
