Darwine

[supanatral]

I'm trying to run Darwine so as to install Windows applications on my Intel macbook pro. My problem is that when I try to launch one of the test programs that come with it, it says that I need to install X11, but when I try to install it, it says that I have a newer version of X11 installed. I'm running Mac OSX tiger 10.04.8 if that helps. Thanks guys

You need to install X11 from the installer on the OS X installation DVD. The downloadable X11 installer from Apple is for OS X 10.3.9

I installed X11SDK.pkg on the CD and it installed correctly, but when I'm still recieving the same error when I lauch notepad for instance.

I got it working but when I launch the programs I got with it, I get a load of errors and I figure there must be a reason for all the errors below because they wouldn't have made a program without including all of its dependancies in the dmg file.

Actually, I gave up on installing those fonts. Has anyone got Darwine working on an intel mac?

For those still curious, I came across this page from the WINE wiki.

http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/

Try this and see if this works out for you. The WINE wiki for third party developers that use WINE in some form or another is here:

http://wiki.winehq.org/ThirdPartyApplications

Finally, there's also this:

Hope some of this information helps you guys.
