[TuT] How to Install Darwine on x86/PPC and run Windows Apps

[Mac Hacker]

Download Darwine: http://darwine.sourceforge.net/download.php#


PPC Proof Below


Installing Darwine

Get the latest x86/PPC Darwine DP
doubleclick to mount and then drag the entire 'Darwine' folder into your 'Applications' folder.


(must install)Freetype:

* 1. You will need xcode tools (if you don't have an 'official' mac, it may not be on your current install disc but you can download it online. Xcode tools is rather large. If you have a pre-10.4.4 (10.4.4+ are dual layer dvd's) or unpatched disc you have it (xcode tools) on disc.

* 2. Download freetype here: http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releas ... bz2extract and go to that directory in the terminal and

Code: Select all

./configure && make && sudo make install

Darwine:

* 3. You must have x11 installed on your system from your installation disc (/System/Installation/Packages/ X11User.pkg).

* 4. NEW (Aug 1):Download this 'winetempz' folder here: and unzip it to your Desktop.

* 5. We are assuming you have the darwine folder in your Applications folder already. COPY AND PASTE these lines into the terminal to make symbolic links:

Code: Select all

cp -R ~/Desktop/winetempz ~/.wine ln -s ~/.wine/drive_c ~/.wine/dosdevices/c: ln -s / ~/.wine/dosdevices/z: ln -s ~ ~/.wine/dosdevices/y: ln -s ~/.wine/drive_c/"Program Files" ~/Desktop

6. Run a Windows app (there are some samples in the 'Darwine' folder in your 'Applications' folder).After you successfully run a Windows app, you can delete the 'tempwine' folder on your Desktop. You can also move the 'Program Files' folder whereever you want. (This shortcut gives you easy access to "installed" Windows apps, it is otherwise hidden.)

REMEMBER TO GO TO WINE HELPER MENU AND CLICK CONFIGURE!!!!!!!!

[seabeast]

Well.... if it is easier to understand...


anyone like it? eh? EH?

I did a text compare, the only difference is that you added that big block of red text and didn't manage to rip the link to the 'winetempz' folder since it used an actual hyperlink rather than just a url. Of course if you had then people would be wondering why they need to log into that forum in order to access the file.

all te files in winetepz are already installied when u run all the terminal comands and then hit configure so there is no need to go to the forum

you cannot. sorry, the only builds for this were for 10.4 and 10.5

[Mota-Lev]

Uhhh how can I get this running sorry to be a noob but I cannot follow the parts about...


2. Download freetype here: http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releas ... bz2extract and go to that directory in the terminal and
CODE
./configure && make && sudo make install


that.. like how the fuck do I go to this directory?

And


5. We are assuming you have the darwine folder in your Applications folder already. COPY AND PASTE these lines into the terminal to make symbolic links:
CODE
cp -R ~/Desktop/winetempz ~/.wine
ln -s ~/.wine/drive_c ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:
ln -s / ~/.wine/dosdevices/z:
ln -s ~ ~/.wine/dosdevices/y:
ln -s ~/.wine/drive_c/"Program Files" ~/Desktop


What the fuck am I suppose to open in the terminal, if someone could write a tutorial about these parts with a bit of explaining that would be great.

Thanks.
