Mercurial (hg) - Using Beyond Compare with MacHg for Mercurial

[Aaron]

A helpful user has posted a setup guide on his personal blog.

I can confirm that BC3 does indeed run nicely using Crossover on OSX and in fact I've been able to also integrate it into MacHG (for Mercurial repositories).

A "How To" on running BC3 on Crossover via command line and integration into MacHG is here on my blog:

Thanks for the link Aaron :)

Hopefully it will help anyone looking to run BC3 on OSX. I've been using BC since 2004 then when I moved to iOS development, I found I couldn't do without it (having tried other diff tools on OSX).

I also run it in a Parallels WinXP VM too, which also works very well, but unfortunately I couldn't get that to link in via the command line (for use with MacHG), hence the steps in the article.

Cheers
