How to set up Darwine for mac??

[VampireHeart]

Setting up Darwine for my mac has been the most frustrating thing that i have ever done... it seriously kills me.

If anyone knows what files i really need and how to install them would be much appreciated.

PS: Im running Leopard on an Intel based mac.

-Thanks

well because your mac is intel youll need to compile it from the source

that means youll need the gcc compiler for mac os x (get the one that says intel) (i think its included in xcode if not google it)
and you will need make (if its not included in gcc again google it)

ok unzip the source files of wine and run make in the termnal on the directry that has the source

if it wont compile install all of the missing libs it wants and try again

if it still wont compile you will need to wait till they compile a darwine for intel based macs

I got it to work, a different way though.

Another Q though when i try to install LOTRO it says i need Microsoft.NET Framework 1.1 with Service pack 1. But when i try to install it i get this.

http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page

that will run all of your net powerd stuff in conjunction with wine

(but make shure you get the intel version and use the mono command)

 

[VampireHeart]

What if you are using the Application Wine.app and not MacPorts?

 

[DesKaladA]

it still should work since mono dosnt need wine

 

[VampireHeart]

Is this the right one?

[DesKaladA]

Ive installed it, but it still says the same error code when i install Microsoft.NET Framework 1.1 with Service pack 1

 

[DesKaladA]

did you try to run the applacetion you wanted to install in the first place?

 

[VampireHeart]

Yea i have downloaded everything i need for it exept when i try to run the program it says i need Microsoft.NET Framework 1.1 with Service pack 1.

inside of mono?

 

[VampireHeart]

Oh.. wait. I think i get it.

So you just run this file inside mono?

NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe

EDIT: I tried to run that file but it gave me this error:

 

[DesKaladA]

well ide check mono's help site since i dont have much expierince using it and every time i used it it seems to work fine

 

[VampireHeart]
