Jeezoflip Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 Wine has been a lot of work and I doubt this will be different for Alky. I'm all for the idea but i doubt the differences to the wine project they list on the frontpage will help them overcome the stepping stones (undocumented windows apis, undocumented low-level functions or bugs that have to be replicated too) any faster.I doubt that seamless interportability will ever be possible if the os manufacturers won't get together. Projects like Wine and Alky will always be messy until developers start to develop applications with Wine in mind (and debug them accordingly). agreed.

xtraa Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Yes, sadly... Wine is getting 13 years old now. It is simply too much effort to rebuild the Windows API. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacApprentice Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 A comon win registry is certainly possible via a bsd style config file, the converter need to convert the whole program directory to a Mac app so it would be neatly instalble in application or somewhere else on the disk. I always loved that all in one "file" philosophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
