Get it here: new intel Darwine DP

 

Use http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=18111 instead of this guide if you are using the new intel darwine.

 

1. You must have x11 installed on your system from your installation disc (/System/Installation/Packages/ X11User.pkg).

 

2. Download the latest Darwine for intel. Mount (double click) the .dmg and drag the darwn folder into your application folder.

 

3. Open up the terminal and

 

cd /Applications/Darwine/Wine.bundle/Contents/bin

sudo ./winecfg

 

That is all you are supposed to do, It may work for you but it didn't for me. I got errors.

 

4. Now to create the missing subdirectories that gave the errors

 

sudo -s

cd /tmp

mkdir wine_root

cd /Applications/Darwine/Wine.bundle/Contents

cp -R lib /tmp/wine_root

cp -R share /tmp/wine_root

 

5. Now you should be able to run Darwine correctly. picture11ss.th.png

 

6. After installing a windows application the installed win programs are in a hidden folder:

- open your Finder and click on home in the sidebar.

- "shift+apple+G" and type .wine

- go into drive_c and drag "Program Files" to the side bar for easy access to your windows apps!

After deciding to give the new intel Darwine DP a try on my 10.4.5 installation, I found the information on the wiki outdated and irrelevent. It was completey wrong reguarding installation. So here is my guide:

 

1. You must have x11 installed on your system from your installation disc.

 

2. Download the latest Darwine for intel. Mount (double click) the .dmg and drag the darwn folder into your application folder.

 

3. Open up the terminal and

 

cd /Applications/Darwine/Wine.bundle/Contents/bin

sudo ./winecfg

 

That is all you are supposed to do, It may work for you but it didn't for me. I got errors.

 

4. Now to create the missing subdirectories that gave the errors

 

sudo -s

cd /tmp

mkdir wine_root

cd /Applications/Darwine/Wine.bundle/Contents

cp -R lib /tmp/wine_root

cp -R share /tmp/wine_root

 

5. Now you should be able to run Darwine correctly. picture11ss.th.png

 

6. After installing a windows application the installed win programs are in a hidden folder:

- open your Finder and click on home in the sidebar.

- "shift+apple+G" and type .wine

- go into drive_c and drag "Program Files" to the side bar for easy access to your windows apps!

 

The tmp dir is wiped off at every reboot do you have a better workaround for this half assed darwine release ?

You only have to do it once then after Darwine runs successfully, wine is configured permanently. Perhaps you should try it before you knock it.

 

yes it works thx , i understand it now, tmp is indeed wiped off but the first time wine is run it can find the files and configure itself.

 

thx

I tried it in 10.4.1 but I got errors:

 

/Applications/Darwine/Wine.bundle/Contents/bin/wine: line 11: /Applications/Darwine/Wine.bundle/Contents/bin/wine-real: Bad executable (or shared library)

/Applications/Darwine/Wine.bundle/Contents/bin/wine: line 11: /Applications/Darwine/Wine.bundle/Contents/bin/wine-real: Unknown error: 0

 

Help Plx

johnniecarcinogen thank you very much for writing this. Darwine wasn't doing anything for me, and after I did the steps in your post exe files are loading.

 

Might be worth noting I did this on a Macbook Pro with all the latest 10.4.5 updates

It looks like a 10.4.4 or 10.4.5 only app, it worked perfectly with these instructions under 10.4.5. Now.. Anyone know some half-usefull things to do with it and some .dll challenged applications

when i try to install X11 it tells me that i cannot put it on my HD because newer software is already there - that goes for both my G4powerbook and MacBook.... they are both running 10.4.5 fully up to date. when Darwine tries to open it tells me that there is no X11 installed!! and thus i have to install it in order to run a .exe...

 

any ideas??

I'm trying to install Darwine 0.9.9 in 10.4.4, but I keep getting this message!

Any ideas of how to fix this?

 

I figured it out!

I opened xterm and typed this!

 

DISPLAY=:0.0; export DISPLAY

 

I got it to install, but I still get some small problems.

 

EDIT:For some reason I hit a configure window for Darwine that crashed and now Darwine refuses to configure! I get the same message as before! :angry:

 

EDIT: So apperantly Darwine is configured it just doesn't work!

ok, i've done everything in the HowTo. I've got it running WineHelper and X11, I can access the .wine folder etc. but i can't install anything.... I tried to install audiomulch and vlc but all they do is open WineHelper and X11.

 

I'm using 1.25Ghz G4Powerbook - 10.4.5

 

What am i doing wrong??

I've finnally got it working!

 

I duplicated Wine.Bundle and turned it into a folder!

From there I just told Wine Helper Wine was in /Applications/Darwine/Wine bundle/Contents/bin/wine :D

 

Here are some screenshots!

BTW, which keys on a normal keyboard are shift+apple+G?

 

Cheers,

I reported the Darwine install bug here:

 

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?f...890&atid=526087

 

Has anyone tried 0.9.9 on a clean system yet? Did it work? The old install scripts were creating environment variables (to the /tmp path) that were ignored.

 

Please report to this bug tracker, if you've had success without any workarounds to install 0.9.9.

 

0.9.9 also seems to work if you just drag and drop it over 0.9.7, but that doesn't check the installer, which runs the first time Darwine is launched.
