I was trying to develop user mode windows on base of wine. I was linking my x86 simulator with wine so that I can have a JAVA like virtual windows environment. the didderence is JVM understands jasva byte code, my virtual windows understands x86 instructions. I knew darwine was going to do the same thing. the difference is darwine depends on qemu. I don't use qemu. my questions: why

I don't know if this is the appropriate site to post a Darwine question. If not please feel free to point me to a more appropriate stie. I?ve got Darwine 1.0-rc4 loaded on my MacBook Pro, which is running Leopard 10.5.3. when I run the Darwine app it brings up a Darwine window in Finder, with four items. And if i select winecfg.exe from the Sample Winelib Applicatoins, X pops up and then so

Hey guys I got a ibook g4, I installed darwine, I tried running MSN Messenger 7.0 "it says it works" and it doesn't work I just get an error saying it didn't worry and has closed. I tried utorrent, same deal, then I went to the darwine folder and went into applications and tried clocks.exe and that didn't work either. Help me out? Thanks

How do I remove all my Wine/Darwine versions (from Mac)? Should I run "make uninstall" from the last wine-0.9.33 and then delete the /Users/.../wine* folders? A search for windows.h gives: /Developer/Headers/Wine/include/wine/windows/windows.h (Darwine?) /Users/me/Documents/downloads/wine-0.9.15/include/windows.h (Wine) /Users/me/Documents/downloads/wine-0.9.16/include/windows.h (Wine)

Hi all, ill start off by saying that I've tried reading and doing everything that was on the documentation. I'm not very code/C++ literate. I have a Power PC Macintosh that I run Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard with. I'm going through all this trouble to run 1 simple program, Soulseek. I downloaded Darwine 0.9.27 DP. When i try to run any program, soulseek, notepad/clock that came with

I am trying to use darwine 1.1.7 on 10.5.5 and am having issues. I downloaded the package from thisismyinter.net and is doesn't run anything, including the sample winelib applications. However, when I use the version from http://www.kronenberg.org/darwine/ it runs just fine. I have XQuartz 2.3.1 as well. This started recently, I can't remember what did it. Here is a link to the output when

I recently tried to submit application feedback for the Darwin port of Wine. My feedback was rejected because Darwine is not Wine. But is this really the case? If this port of Wine to Darwin was simply called The Darwin Port of Wine, would it have been rejected? I don't think it would have been. Just because the Darwin developers have made a clever alias for this particular port, it

I've installed Darwine on an iMac. As per the documentation, I have attempted to run winecfg to set the various configs. But I cannot get it to display. The error log says that it attempted to create a window, but no driver found. Since I can't config, I can't set a driver. Any ideas?

I'm currently running Mac OS X 10.6.4 Snow Leopard. I recently installed Darwine, and then installed a new program, Bowl Bound College Football. Even installed the patch afterwards. So far, so good. Now my problem, is that this program creates an export file to send to a league commissioner, that they can then import. I can't find the file path in Finder, or any of the files for the

Hi all, There's a Windows application I've been running (called "WinBUGS.exe") on an intel Mac OS X (ver. 10.5.5) using both Darwine and CrossOver Pro. My application runs fine under Darwine and also under CrossOver. However, in spite of being able to run these applications using either platform from the command line, I still cannot pass arguments to the application. What I want

I hope it's ok to ask about Darwine on these forums. I installed Morrowind GOTY on OSX using Darwine and it starts. But I can't set a resolution as the list of resolutions is empty. It recognises an NVIDIA graphics card but no resolutions. Any ideas how to get this working? Thanks

I downloaded Darwine 1.0.1 the other day, and it's been working fine until today when I loaded it up and suddenly it didn't want to open .exe files any more. I've tried freshly installing it with a clean version, but this one isn't doing it either. This is the error I'm getting: Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded. Make sure that your X server

I downloaded and installed Darwin 1.1.5 to run Sturmovik IL2 1946. It worked fine yesterday but today, it will not load the application. Everything seems to start normally, but I get the following message in the Wine Log: err:module:attach_process_dlls "gdi32.dll" failed to initialize, aborting err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for

Hi Guys, I'm trying to get Sky Anytime/Sky Player working on OS X (running on an ATV) 10.5.2 - I installed the stable version of darwine (1.0.1) - got around the obstacles of installing .net, IE 6 and wmp11 (as it's required by Sky Player) - Sky Player seems to run 2 other .exe in the background "KHost" and "KService" ... however, when ever I launch the sky player I

I've installed darwine 1.1.9 on my mac. I've read all of the tutorials and forums that I could find but I'm still not able to solve my problem. I imagine I must be missing something that's so obvious that it doesn't even make its way into a tutorial. I can't run programs. If I start winehelper and try to run a program (say regedit.exe) I get the errors at the end of

I'm somewhat new to wine on my Mac so I read the wineHQ wiki (http://wiki.winehq.org/Printing) and searched the forums but didn't come up with anything which I saw was an answer. I am running 1 specific app through darwine on my mac and when I try to print it says there are no printers. I saw references to something called cups-pdf but that looks like it's just a virtual printer. I

Just completed a fresh install of Darwine 1.0b and Xquartz to fix some application issues and discovered when I downloaded and installed the Windows version of Firefox I get the following series of errors. This is a partial log since the errors just continue as long as Firefox is open until either WineHelper crashes or Firefox crashes. I have manually downloaded Flash from the adobe site, it

Hi, For the past 3 months I have been trying to get wine working well, but have hit several obstacles. I am on a Mac 10.5.7, using X11 2.3.3.2 from Xquartz, and using Kroneberg's Darwine builds. The issues: I can't seem to get OpenGL working or DirectX. I sometimes have problems where I launch an exe, and the program runs as if it cannot "see" any other files in the same folder.

Hi all I'm trying to play the game "BOH" (http://www.bohthegame.com/) on OS X using Darwine. I downloaded 1.1.19 and dragged the Darwine folder to /Applications. Then I opened the BOH installer using WineHelper and installed the game. For some reason it put the installed files inside the WineHelper application bundle. When I tried to open the game's executable using WineHelper,

Hi, I'm trying to get the latest version of darwine working with slickedit on my mac os x box. Everything is using the latest version.
