Is it possible to develop an app for on a Chrombook? I just bought one and I really want to use tntMPD on my chromebook. The option via Wine won't work for me.

I'm using the latest version of CrossOver on a Google Pixel 2 (2015) Intel Chromebook. Unfortunately, TntConnect crashes just before we get to the green installation dialog.

In talking briefly with the Crossover developers, they insist that all CrossOver apps have WINEARCH=32 set by default, so that's not the issue.  Not sure what else can be done, though, unless Troy can provide an installer-less instance of TntConnect =)

Once that problem gets resolved, though, I've discovered that installing Dropbox from the Android Play Store works.  Any files you "sync" (it's a little unintuitive... select the file, then click the "download" icon - that causes it to sync) will show up at /sdcard/Android/data/com.dropbox.android/files/[string]/scratch.  (I'm not sure if that [string] part is unique.)  TntConnect should be able to access the database that way, and thus we can keep our DB in sync as usual, even from a Chromebook!

If I can get this all working properly, I'll post more detailed instructions.

Hi Tom, you can take TntConnect.exe from an installation on Windows and move that file to your Chromebook to run under Wine/CrossOver.  But the Wine prefix/bottle you're running it in must have some prereqs installed such as Jet 4.0, MDAC 2.8 SP1 and msxml 6.  But if the installation won't even start up, there's probably more serious matters lurking.

I've started using a Chromebook exclusively at work and TntConnect is about the only program I can't use. Have there been any updates in the ability to use TntConnect on Chromebooks? I've tried Crossover and enabling the installation of Linux apps. I've gotten neither to work. Any help is appreciated.

Any new information on tntconnect with Chromebook? We are moving overseas and I'm taking a Chromebook with me, as opposed to the PC. I'd LOVE to be able to continue using tntconnect. But I'm not real tech savvy so it would have to be easy. Thanks!!!
