Howdy BSD/Solaris/OS X'ers, A lot of progress has been made fixing the conformance tests for Wine, but unfortunately, most of this progress has only been made on the Linux end. Most developers are using some form of Linux, so BSD/Solaris/OS X haven't seen their pass rate increase. But you can help! For more info, see: http://wiki.winehq.org/ConformanceTests But for the short version: 1. Be sure you're using the latest git 2. Download http://www.astro.gla.ac.uk/users/paulm/WRT/CrossBuilt/winetest-latest.exe 3. Run it in a clean WINEPREFIX. 4. Be sure to use an appropriate label. For example, I use: aenglish-pc-bsd7 or aenglish-opensolaris. This will give developers more information to identify bugs on these OS's. For bonus points, run daily, as new tests and fixes are added daily (usually Monday-Friday, unless Alexandre is working overtime :-D). -- -Austin

Unfortunately, I tripped over the power cord to my PowerBook G4 and may have broken the power plug connection to the main board. That will be an expensive repair. Alexandre has been quite busy lately and I don't have time to do a daily GIT build here of Darwine. James McKenzie

You have to install Fink or MacPorts to get there. I think that you have to install either of these and a bunch of packages in order to build Wine or Darwine anyway. It would be a good idea to add git to the list of packages needed. cvs, on the other hand, comes with XCode and is something that I'm very familar with. James McKenzie
