Win8 under installation in VMWARE11 using Apple OS X 10.10

Original: Win8 installed in VMWARE11 using Apple system OS X 10.10

?? Recently because of the need to do iOS projects, so it takes more time to see the knock code. Because I do not have a Mac on hand (the New Year in order to free time to play games to buy Lenovo, alas), think can not only rely on the company's time every day to practice the demo bar, so learning too slow, so just want to put a Mac under the Win8 to try. Installed Mac has two options, one is dual system, this I checked, found my model of the notebook drive problem too much, plus I have installed Ubuntu dual system, afraid to make a big problem, so give up. If you want to install a dual system, do not look down, go to find a dual-system strategy. Another option is to install the virtual machine, I looked for methods on the Internet, found that it can be used, installed Xcode in the simulator run a little card, is the virtual machine's MAC graphics driver a bit old, the interface slightly a little bit of fluid, of course, does not affect the operation! I will record the installation configuration process below. Although this kind of article on the Internet, although a lot of, but a bit messy, some are old version, I recorded the entire process from installation to the end and some of the problems encountered and solutions, if follow this step to be sure that no problem, the following into the topic.

Please leave this address reproduced: http://www.cnblogs.com/rossoneri/p/4592668.html

First, I use the OS X Code of the graph bar, generally speaking, only open Xcode is completely non-card. Like me to open a dual monitor, while the virtual machine code, the other side Win8 search information is very convenient.

First you need to download

1. Vmware, this is good, from the official download, and then find a register machine just fine. I think the readers of the blog Park are supposed to be loaded.
   
2. OS X 10.10 System, click here to download, extract code: y86w
   
3. unlocker203, used to allow Vmware to identify MAC systems, click here to download, extract code: KM1C
   
4. Vmware Tools for Mac and vmsvga2_1.2.5_os_10.9.pkg, virtual machine inside the graphics driver, do not install will be very card, point I download
   
5. The virtual machine under the MAC's sound card driver, I did not under, does not use. But you have to feel that when using the tone of the sound of a strange so that you can be very difficult to find to install.

Start installation

• First open the Downloaded unlocker203 folder, find win-install.cmd , right click on the administrator to run, note that the path and Vmware path are not Chinese, otherwise it will fail. If the path is not Chinese, then Google error code. Here is a suggestion, because this file is used to modify the service of VMware, my computer is the case: after each restart of the computer, the VMware service will be reopened, so it is necessary to execute this file once again to open the MAC virtual machine, so it is recommended to put this file on the desktop a shortcut, It's good to run a Mac before playing it.

• Open Vmware, create a new virtual machine, choose a typical installation, next.
  
  Then select the image path, the choice of attention to the file format, the default format of the search is the ISO, and this system is CDR, so the folder is not visible, change the line. And then next.
  
  At this point, if the first step succeeds, here can be seen in the system list Apple Mac OS X of options, the following version selection OS X 10.10 , next.
  
  The next step is all the way, the only thing that needs to be set is the virtual machine parameter, I put my parameters for reference. My Computer 8G memory, divided by 4G to the virtual machine. At least I do not have the card, you configure as appropriate.
  

• At this time click Start Virtual Machine, you may pop an error, about this, in the unlocker203 folder readme.txt has been explained that the solution is to open the path to save OS X virtual machine, find the .vmx suffix file, open with Notepad, search smc.present = "TRUE" This sentence, add a line below it: smc.version = "0", then smooth start, enter the installation interface.

• There is a hint of insufficient disk space in the installation because it recognizes that the disk is the mirror disk, not the empty disk in which you installed the virtual machine. And you can't find the divided disk because the format is not recognized and needs to be formatted. Click on the Disk tool, utilities, top of the Mac, and then you can see the disk with dozens of G on the left, select it, erase it on the right, format it, choose a format, change the disk name below, and click Erase. After that, it's easy, just wait for it to fit itself.

Display and resolution

?? Took more than 10 minutes, installed the OS X, into the system to see the beautiful interface, the heart is cool, can not help but to operate, but just waving the mouse, I wipe, how all is the remnant shadow! Another look at the system, 32M video memory What ghost, although I know the Mac memory and memory shared, and this is a virtual machine, but this 32M must have a problem, and the resolution is also very strange. Then on-Line a check, the original will also be installed graphics drivers. Unzip me to provide the download driver, locate the Darwin.iso file, select CD/DVD in the Virtual machine settings, select Use image, open Darwin.iso.

?? Then find the disc icon in the status bar in the lower right corner of Vmware and click Select Connection to see the loaded disk in the upper-right corner of OS X's desktop. If you don't see it, just set it up and restart the system. Open the disk and install Vmware Tools. Reboot the system at the end of installation. Now again into the system found not so card.

?? Then install the video driver VMsvga2_v1.2.5_OS_10.9.pkg . Locate the file in the directory that you downloaded earlier, and then drag the file to the virtual machine, then ... Well? I used to play like this, and this discovery can't be dragged! The solution is to go back to the Virtual machine settings screen, open the shared folder in the options, and share the path as English as possible. Specific

?? After the picture is set, place the file you want to copy in and then restart OS X to see the folder. Open the folder and double-click VMsvga2_v1.2.5_OS_10.9.pkg Install driver. After the end or to restart once, then look at the system, you will find that the video memory becomes 128M, and the operation is very smooth and very much. Then find the display options in the system settings, see if there is a resolution for you, if not, open the Vmware settings, select the display in the hardware, manually enter the resolution you want, click OK, then start OS X system, open the settings display, the menu appears the resolution you need, select it, and play with it.

How to connect

?? The system is installed, and then the code will be written, OS x write code of course to use the powerful Xcode. You can download the installation package from the Internet and put it in the shared folder, then install it with OS X, or you can download the latest stable version directly on the App store. So how to connect?
Open the network of Windows, select the current Network properties, select the Share tab, select Allow other links to this network,

Then go back to the virtual machine settings, network adapter select: Host mode only

Then open OS X, open the network settings, choose Ethernet on the left, select Use DHCP on the right, click Apply, and then you are done.
Use the App Store to download Xcode, and then start programming learning. To tell the truth, these two days found Xcode used to be quite cool!

Of course, this is only a stopgap, if you really want to invest in iOS development, or buy a Mac good. If you don't have a lot of money, it's OK to buy a cheap Mac mini for development.
If you just want to experience the experience first, it is necessary to toss and toss yourself.

Finally, and stickers really good trouble ah!
