But since you're a new Mac user, I wouldn't suggest it. It involves a lot of command-line stuff, and I know most Mac users don't like that. (I don't mind, but hey, I'm a programmer. Don't mind me.) There's plenty of info on UNIX command-line basics on the Internet, though; look around. And if you need help with Wine itself, we can help you. 2. Use a package/port manager like MacPorts or Fink. Many Mac users of Wine go this route. But you still have to deal with the command line, which again many Mac users don't like. It's easier, though, than building it yourself. 3. Use WineBottler. Many more go this route. It even has a nice GUI. But be warned: WineBottler isn't supported here. If you want help, you'll have to ask on WineBottler's forum. Chip

Building from source on OS X is a good learning experience, but may try your patience if you're in a hurry to get things going.

I think i did it on my Ubuntu 8.04 already :P Shouldnt be that hard... I thought WINE had a .dmg install :( Anyways in life you live and you learn! Command line it is :D.... (Since I'm not @ home now I'll postpone this project for the weekend... is there an WINE IRC chat room or something?)
