UPDATED ON Aug 1

Get the latest x86 Darwine DP here: http://darwine.opendarwin.org/download.php

doubleclick to mount and then drag the entire 'Darwine' folder into your 'Applications' folder. picture66ts.png

 

Freetype:


  • 1. You will need xcode tools (if you don't have an 'official' mac, it may not be on your current install disc but you can download it online. Xcode tools is rather large. If you have a pre-10.4.4 (10.4.4+ are dual layer dvd's) or unpatched disc you have it (xcode tools) on disc.

Darwine:

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

  • 4. NEW (Aug 1):Download this 'winetempz' folder here: and unzip it to your Desktop.

  • 5. We are assuming you have the darwine folder in your Applications folder already. COPY AND PASTE these lines into the terminal to make symbolic links:

cp -R ~/Desktop/winetempz ~/.wine
ln -s ~/.wine/drive_c ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:
ln -s / ~/.wine/dosdevices/z:
ln -s ~ ~/.wine/dosdevices/y:
ln -s ~/.wine/drive_c/"Program Files" ~/Desktop

  • 6. Run a Windows app (there are some samples in the 'Darwine' folder in your 'Applications' folder).After you successfully run a Windows app, you can delete the 'tempwine' folder on your Desktop. You can also move the 'Program Files' folder whereever you want. (This shortcut gives you easy access to "installed" Windows apps, it is otherwise hidden.)

Is there any additional setup required for gcc4 beyond installing that package you link to? e.g. Do we need to set any kind of path/environment variables that tell the system where to find the compiler?

 

After running that line of code you provided, i got an error about how it couldnt find the correct version of gcc/make (i think it was something like that, I don't have it in front of me right now).

Nope no go with gcc3.3 or 4. Terminal states the following when trying to run the command in your guide

 

 

dubloves-computer:/applications/freetype dublove$ ./configure && make && sudo make install

GNU make (>= 3.79.1) or makepp (>= 1.19) is required to build FreeType2.

Please try

`GNUMAKE=<GNU make command name> ./configure'.

or >&2

`GNUMAKE="makepp --norc-substitution" ./configure'.

dubloves-computer:/applications/freetype dublove$

 

 

I looked at the installation guide for gcc but it went straight over my head lol. Any chance of you helping out on this one? Would be cool if you have any advice :graduated:

Hi,

 

I went through all the instructions given and still unable to run any windows programs. To start with the darwinexe folder is emty (which whould be since the only thing I did following the instructions I just created). I firts moved an installation program there (eWallet) and it did not work. Then I moved the notepad.exe there it did not work either, I got practically the same error messages. Before I saw this post I just tried to do what the darwine instructions said, it was even worse. Darwine did not find the freestyle fonts (they are installed), it could not even create the .wine directory, etc. Some more instructions and help would be really useful at the darwine site.

 

Anyway, it is not working for me and I am a recent convert from windows (I just got my Mac yesterday and I am in the process to convert my office maxhine to Linux). Here is what I get when I try to run a windows program (after doing everything as instructed):

 

Warning: the specified Windows directory L"c:\\windows" is not accessible.

Warning: the specified System directory L"c:\\windows\\system32" is not accessible.

Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory '/Volumes/Darwine x86-0.9.12/Darwine/WineHelper.app/Contents/Resources', starting in the Windows directory.

wine: cannot find '/Users/gyuri/.wine/drive_c/windows/darwinexe/notepad.exe'

Warning: the specified Windows directory L"c:\\windows" is not accessible.

Warning: the specified System directory L"c:\\windows\\system32" is not accessible.

Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory '/Volumes/Darwine x86-0.9.12/Darwine/WineHelper.app/Contents/Resources', starting in the Windows directory.

wine: cannot find '/Users/gyuri/.wine/drive_c/windows/darwinexe/notepad.exe'

 

The funny thing is that notepad.exe is in the directory where wine cannot find it. Any help would be appreciated since I would like to move completely away from windows but there are a few simple programs that I liked in windows and would like to keep.

 

Thanks again any help, please reply in this forum or even better to send me an e-mail gvizkelethy@comcast.net.

 

George

sweet. everything is working so far. just dragged all the sample programs into the darwinexe folder and every one of them runs great. Thanks for all the help.

 

Just wondering if I can uninstall xcode tools now though as I only have a 40 gig hard drive and its 2 gigs of space. I don't think its needed any more at this point but I just want to make sure. I do know I need to keep X11 though so i don't plan on getting rid of that.

do this line again:

ln -s ~/.wine/drive_c ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:

 

EDIT: the steps in the guide delete any previous .wine folder and will start with a clean slate. so if you still have the 'wine' folder in your home folder (without the dot in front of it from the 'wine.zip' you downloaded) just re-'copy and paste' the all of the steps in the guide.

Anyone who had errors, please retry the guide. I changed just about everything on the Darwine part.

 

I completey re-wrote the guide from step 4 on. I fixed the old 'wine.zip' (and changed the name to 'tempwine') so that it works correctly now... no more special folder to use Darwine or anything like that. let me know how it works.

Now is better there are no errors but limited number of programs are runnig i think this is due to the version of the Darwine some programs from windows setup are running and nothing else like normal calculator notepad two or three card games (FreeCell, hearts, Spider Solotary) nothing more :). I am disappointed I think that I can run utorrent nathing more. It didn't started :)

Thank you,

 

It works great now!

 

I can use all the demo applications.

 

However, I tried to install Oziexplorer (Mac os misses good GPS progs), the installation went fine but the system crashes when I launch the prog :P:(

 

Thanks for your work

hi i have updates the "old" Darwine 0.9.12 package to wine 0.9.15

 

and it works great, coreaudio and quartzdrv are included too ( not tested )

 

i have tested some tools like mirc and it works great, connect works fine ;)

 

you can follow the instruction in the first post except you must download my darwine version

 

!! THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL DARWINE 0.9.15 RELEASE !!!!

 

and i can not give support for this release

 

if you want to build own version just follow this instructions

 

http://wiki.opendarwin.org/index.php/Darwine:build

 

here is the download link: http://www.leonsio.de/downloads/Darwine%200.9.15.dmg

I follows the instruction here, the Windows app started but with msg that I need Freetype fonts, how do I install it ?

 

Thanks

 

[*]1. You will need xcode tools (if you don't have an 'official' mac, it may not be on your current install disc but you can download it online. Xcode tools is rather large. If you have a pre-10.4.4 (10.4.4+ are dual layer dvd's) or unpatched disc you have it (xcode tools) on disc.

[*]2. Download freetype here: http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/...-2.1.10.tar.bz2extract and go to that directory in the terminal and 

./configure && make && sudo make install

 

I readded this to the guide.
