Wine install not recognizing my Bison

Post by Loa »

Hello,

First time trying to install Wine (6.0.1) on an M1 mac. When I try to configure, I get this error: "configure: error: Your bison version is too old. Please install bison version 3.0 or newer."

But Bison 3.8.2 is already installed.

I tried logging out, restarting the Mac... Nothing works.

Any help appreicated.

Your trying to compile wine from source not install a prebuilt packages.

Please see the wiki for installing pre built packages via brew.

Also please note that if you’ve install bison via brew it won’t be added to $PATH as per the formula it’s keg only.

Also building wine64 using /opt/homebrew install will result in an arm64 version of wine that will only allow running arm64 Windows Binaries not the more common x86_64 (64Bit) Windows Binaries.

Hmmm. I don't think I'm familiar enough with UNIX to be able to go much further. I used a prebuilt package on my intel Macbook Pro and it worked like a charm, allowing me to launch an old app (modified version of classic World of Warcraft), most likely a 32bit windows app.

Do you think there's any chance of such an easy app (WineBottler) being made for M1 macs?
