blahsucks Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 You need the source. It has to be recompiled to fit the Darwin kernel. Darwin is not Linux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLS Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Codeweavers has announced that they would develop for Mac-x86, so expect it to be available sometimes in 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suleiman Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 wow...this is great news. Pretty soon I should be able to expand my 20 gb OS X install to fill up the remaining 20 gb and run a proper 40 gb OS X partition on my PC! No more MS!!!!!! :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way, you can't launch a linux app in OSX. Crossover Office is not free like Wine so you can't compile the sources yourself. You just have to wait if this company will port the application to Intel Macs. At least try darwine for OSX86 (the wine port for OSX86): http://xoomer.virgilio.it/dpeddi/ Many windows apps are running with it on OSX86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
