I would LOVE to see native support for Mac OSX from Beyond Compare.
In the mean time, I have a working installation on my MacBook Pro running OSX Lion (also worked under snow leopard)
Details:
Install MacPorts
www.macports.org
Use MacPorts to install wine (from terminal)
sudo port install wine
You will need an X window server installed. Apple provides an X11 server, but I'm not certain if it's always installed by default. It's under "Optional Installs" on the OSX install disk.
Download the BeyondCompare installer
wget http://www.scootersoftware.com/BCompare-3.3.3.14128.exe
Install BeyondCompare under wine
wine BCompare-3.3.3.14128.exe
Run BeyondCompare under wine
wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Beyond\ Compare\ 3/BCompare.exe
I hope this helps somebody other than myself in the mean time until Scooter Software gets native Mac support prioritized in their development pipeline.
