The tutorial for installing wine said there should be a constant flow of information in the terminal window while it's installing, though for me it appears to be stuck on "---> Building apple-gcc42" for the last 20 minutes. Is this normal? Why does the installation take so long / what is it doing / how difficult is it to reverse whatever it's doing?

Are you using MacPorts to install Wine? James

I just updated MacPorts and yes, it takes a long time even on a dual-quad-core Mac Pro. It's been days now. I presume your compile of apple-gcc42 finally finished?

Please do so. > > JamesOh sorry, I didn't mean that it takes days to complie apple-gcc42. It took probably 20+ minutes on the high-end Mac Pro I was installing. My point was that any lesser computer will likely take longer. I was asking if Skunks finally completed his/her installation now that it's been several days since the initial post. I'm presuming there's no problem anywhere (with Wine or MacPorts) and asserting that, "Yes, apple-gcc42 takes a heck of a long time to compile in MacPorts."
