Currently attempting to run an old PC game on my Mac (Leopard). I've installed Wine using MacPorts, which worked flawlessly. Now when I attempt to install my PC Game the terminal responds with "16-Bit/DOS Support missing." Is there a way to fix this?

I downloaded wine 1.2 because it's the latest stable version. when I open the folder and click on configure, terminal opens up, and after hundreds of rows of information zipping by, it stops with this at the bottom... checking whether 16-bit code can be built correctly... no configure: error: Xcode 3.x cannot build 16-bit code correctly. Use --disable-win16 if you don't need 16-bit

I've been reading around, so I found this solution (on another topic here) for enabling DOS support on Macs with wine, something having to do with "patching the linker". Can anybody either explain this in simple terms, or point me towards a guide for doing this?

Hi there. Last year I was using Wine 1.2 and 1.3 versions under Linux Mint 11 Katya tyo run an the old Maxis SimFarm. It was able to run but would freeze up after a few hours. Also I noticed there was no sound for the game. I Also ran some Win32 apps, some of which had sound and they had no problems at all. Is the support for Win16 apps not being maintained any more? Currently I am in the middle

Hi, I'm trying to run a game called Star Sonata (http://www.starsonata.com/download.html) on my iMac (Mac OS 10.5.8) using Wine 1.2-rc7. If I run the installer first, I can choose to launch the game directly and it runs without crashing (at least, without crashing systematically). However, if I quit and relaunch the game, it crashes as soon as I get to the log-in screen. Below I have

Yo fellas! I'm having some problems with WineBottler. I'm trying to connect to a ventrilo server with a gsm codec (I think) which isn't supported on mac os. A friend who is on the same server uses regular wine and it works for him, but are there any way to make it work with WineBottler as well? Or should I just do it the "hard" wy and install Wine? Couldn't find XCode

Hi, I am trying to install Davka Judaic Classics IIc, a bookshelf kind of software with Hebrew books. It is a win32 program that was designed for running also on win3.11, hence the installer is, I believe, win16. I have used this software on Win95 and Win98. The program happily runs off emulated cdroms. I have now tried to install this program under wine, but can't even get the installer to

Whenever I try to run a 16-bit application with the version of Wine that built out of MacPorts, I get a crash similar to this one: Code: wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0xffffffff at address 0x1017:0x0000093e (thread 0026), starting debugger... couldn't load main module (2) Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0xffffffff in 32-bit code (1017:0000093e).

I have a new iMac 2.66GHz with 4 GB of RAM. I would like to be able to continue to use the WinXP game, IL2. I know it runs under Wine, thanks to this site. Now I learn that I do not have to use Boot Camp to install Linux or Windows but that Wine will work directly with OSX. Needless to say, this is great news to me. I have downloaded Wine 1.1.13 and have opened the readme file. There, I

I installed WINE today through Macports, I have X11. X11 SDK and Xcode installed. I am trying to get an old game called Axis and allies 1998 which I've got to work in Ubuntu before just fine working on this mac. I installed the game, and when I try to run the game .exe I get the following error in the terminal and the game never opens. Allies Joshua$ wine AxisAllies.exe Could not load

Hi Please tell me how can I use parts of WINE / WineLib (mainly Kernel32 library implementation) in Mac OS XCode projects? I tried to link kernel32.lib.so with a test application, which used one of the Kernel32 functions - GetCurrentDirectoryA(), but got a linker error, which was not able to resolve this function :? The most puzzling thing is that if I run otool on Kernel32.lib.so, it says the

Hi to all. Here's the error i see when trying to compile wine. i have installed xcode 3.1. also there is gcc in developer/usr/bin. any ideas what i should do? P.S. Sorry for grammar mistakes)

Hi, I'm sending this discussion to both wine-devel and llvm-dev, to try to keep the discussion open for both sides, to try to find a workable compromise. This was preliminarily discussed on llvm-dev already a few weeks ago. One of the major unresolved issues with Wine for AArch64 is how to handle the platform specific register x18. (https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38780) As

Thanks for the advice. It took me a while to find the time to take it. I upgraded Xcode to the most recent, installed macports and portius. I then installed WINE. (Not necessarily in that order, but it is the best one.) [Wink] I copied a good Windows folder containing the whole NWN game and it seems to work now. (It seems that while the game has been made to work, I can find no reference to the

Hi everybody, I am new to this forum so don't shoot me if I do something wrong in the beginning... My problem: I am trying to get an application running under wine developed with Superbase, an old Win16 Rapid-application-delvelopment database. Nearly everything is working quite well but this program relies on getting the name of the currently logged in user by calling the Win16 function

Lifeform is a 16-bit Windows based Health Management piece of software that I have used for years. It will not install under Vista without doing something insane like installing virtualpc and a full blown XP install. I did get it to install under Wine, kinda. The creation of a program group and icons failed but I was able to do that part manually. Part of the application allows you to select a

Hi I'm using DarWine, the Kronenberg package and I've tried to install FIFA09. I did everything as instructed, typed in my cd-key, had it install in the C Drive. After installation though, I couldn't find the FIFA09 nor the EA Sports folder anywhere. There was, though, a shortcut on my desktop. Upon running the application from the shortcut, I got a message saying "FIFA09.exe

Hello, I have an old crossword program that runs OK on Win98, WinMe, and XP. I have installed, via yum, wine and wine-devel and the associated dependencies on my Fedora 8 system. I have copied all the files from the program's install floppy to a directory in my home folder, the same as installing it on XP. However, when the program tries to access the word files it fails and says to see

Hi all I'm wondering if it would be possible to run Wine on Win64 ("x64") to allow Win16 apps to be run? Preferably a native 64-bit binary, using mostly native DLLs. (Services for Unix / Subsystem for Unix based Applications might help for getting Wine compiled) It might be a great way to get more users and developers for Wine. Regular Windows releases of the DirectX 10 DLL's

Hi all, I have a win16 app running. It works ok, but the fonts are almost unreadable. I've tried to change the fonts with winecfg changing the dpi and the options on the Desktop Integration tab, but only the dialogs get changed, the main window doesn't update. I've used winetricks to download all the fonts, but it didn't improve. Are there any special changed that can be made to
