Okay, I am new to this site and I want to download Wine for my Macbook Pro, but I don't know where I am going on the site to download the program. Can someone point me in the right direction?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 There are no pre-built packages for Mac. If you wish to use WINE on your Macbook you can either install the GNU+Linux OS of your choice in a dual-boot setup and install WINE with that, or, use a third party's solution to port WINE to the Mac, such as Macports. http://www.macports.org/ Good luck!

There are two ways that I use it (I am a super limited user... I am pretty new to this stuff too.) The easiest (and not updated the quickest) way is to use this distributable package that is maintained by Mike Kroenberg. It's just a dmg file that runs as an app. http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/ The other way is to install it using a port database and I used this website here to do it on my MBPro. http://davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/ It requires installing extra stuff that doesn't come with the pre-installed OSX. If you want to run basic .exe and not get too deep I'd suggest the first, it's run a lot of standalone .exe's for me really easily, and installed plenty of other things fine. (Ultima Online, some light 'doze only programs) The other allows for better optimization and workability with programs, but requires more user knowledge (which I'm trying to obtain myself.)
go to www.wine.hq, then click on wine.hq tab. it is on the right side.
