Now that MacOS is Unix-based, can Wine be run on them ? -- Andrew You can be the captain I will draw the chart Sailing into destiny Closer to the heart Closer to the Heart by Rush (A Farewell to Kings, 1977) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Short answer: nope. Wine doesn't emulate the Intel processor, it only tries to provide Windows compatibility on Intel (and compatible) processors. Since Macs use PowerPC CPUs, not Intel or AMD CPUs, it won't work for you. It would be the equivalent of trying to install Windows on your Mac. It's simply not designed to work there. ....jurgen On 25/05/05, Andrew Neil Ramage <nrsc16850@blueyonder.co.uk> wrote:> > Now that MacOS is Unix-based, can Wine be run on them ? > > -- > > Andrew > > You can be the captain > I will draw the chart > Sailing into destiny > Closer to the heart > > Closer to the Heart by Rush (A Farewell to Kings, 1977) > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > _______________________________________________ > wine-users mailing list > wine-users@winehq.org > http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users >-- thinger@gmail.com is jurgen's gmail address.

Therefore you need to use a platform supporting Windows. However, you might be interested by one of a few emulators projects running under MacOSX : the older is bochs, but I have to say I have been very impressed by QEMU. Even in "full emulation" mode, it is able to run a complete installation of Windows NT quite decently (feels like a PIII/1G while running on a monoprocessor PIV/3.2G). According to the mailing lists, a MacOS version is good enough to doi the same. HTH, Emmanuel Charpentier
