VarAC on Linux/Pi/Mac

Has anyone used VarAC/VARA in LINUX using Winboat instead of WINE?

Here is a link for downloading Winboat for LINUX:

Hi all,

I installed VarAC and VARA on a RPi 5 / RPi500. My TRX is a QMX+ (CAT-Commands from TS-450). It seems, that the installation was successfull: In VARA I can use the Tune-Function and in VarAC CAT-Commands for Frequency-Change and PTT are working. BUT: If I try to send CQ or a Beacon, the TRX will not change in TX-Mode.

I checked the Ports with netstat and lsof: 8100 an 8300 are marked as connected if VarAC and VARA are running.

What went wrong?

Trying to get VAR AC working on a Macintosh running windows under parallels, and using an IC7300. I think VARA is working ok, and VAR AC appears to be set up correctly, but no com ports are showing up in the drop down list on settings. This version of windows is set up for ARM machines as is my M4 Mac mini. Has anyone found a fix for this issue or suggestions of things to check? thanks

When running in Linux (CrossOver), do the freq change and QSY arrows just show up as little boxes for everyone (who runs VarAC in Linux)? If it's a font issue, I cannot figure it out. If that's just the way it displays, I'll quit trying to figure it out.

Thanks,
