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.

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 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

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 Sam, I'm new to the mail list (and mailing lists in general) - sorry for any basic mistakes I make! I basically a noob when it comes to compiling things, and a beginner at the command line. I think I messed a couple of things up, and was wondering if anyone knew how I could fix any of them. The story so far: I had one of the old Darwine builds working ok with a couple apps,

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

Thanks for working on it regardless, all these compiling issues are beyond most of us. Everything is "easy" or "manageable" to fix as long as you know how! I don't know if it's available via Macports, but I imagine Darwine is rather tweaked for the Mac beyond merely being a straight port, I don't know if Macports would throw up similar compiler issues. I received

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 R Users, I was accidentally save R file when I quit R program. I try to delete but I am not sure the R saved file was successfuly delete or not. Now everyt time when I open the R, it always appears [R.app GUI 1.34 (5589) i386-apple-darwin9.8.0] [Workspace restored from /Users/ctu/.RData] I have read google, R help and Nabble but I still can't solve this problem. Could someone please

Dear Dirk, Yes, I know, however forget for one moment R. If I use tar independent of R it still should not create these hidden files. BTW, do you know where these hidden files are stored on the Mac?

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 am a new wine user. I downloaded the darwin wine implementation for mac OS X ver 1.1.7 (http://www.kronenberg.org/darwine/) and installed on my computer. I run the wine helper application and tried to open some of the sample applications that came with it. No matter what I try to open from the sample windows application folder that came with the program I get the same error

I think this has been noted in previous posts by others, but I'm noticing it with post-version 1 builds of Darwine for OSX and I'm wondering if there's any way to fix it. The behavior is hard to describe but here goes: when using either Irfanview or Forte Agent, mouse activity in the Windows app causes the window to move downward on the desktop. Each click, the windows jumps

Hello, Core question: How do I tell files with a given suffix to open an .exe app on the Mac so they'll run it via Darwine? I just successfully installed Darwine and then made a desktop alias to the Avaya Voice Mail Player by showing all hidden files in the Finder, using Make Alias, and copying that alias to the desktop. This Avaya windows app plays .lvp audio voicemail files. How can I

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

im trying to make magic workstation work under snow leopard. Magic worskation is a client for playing card games, such as magic the gathering, online. I've already installed wine and magic workstation. But i was told that i needed to use winetricks to install some fonts (corefonts), so workstation would be fully functional. But when i open winetricks and perform a seacrh for corefonts, i

I suppose Zach Drayer makes the Darwine version from thisismyinter.net. I tried his version 1.1.3, and it broke my Wine, so have gone back to 1.1.1. Hopefully the next build by either can fix OpenGL as well. I read it can't compile because of a dependancy on an XQuartz library which is too old in the current version. XQuartz 2.3.1 is also overdue. Maybe Kronenberg is waiting on them, too. It

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

The .Renviron and .First functions do not seem to work the same way on a Mac OS 10.4 as on a Windows XP machine. From working in Windows I am used to creating a new directory for each data analysis project. In the new directory I place First, an .Renviron file consisting of the following text: R_HISTFILE="history.txt" R_HISTSIZE=1000000 Second, an .RData file containing a .First
