Is it possible to run a Mac application from within Wine?

Michael McStarfighter · Thu Mar 05, 2009 4:43 am

No. Wine is an API for Windows apps, not for Mac apps. And since now there
is no API for Mac apps under Linux ...

Thanks for the hint to the FAQ!
It decribes how to run a Linux application. Is it also possible to run a Macintosh binary inside a ".app" folder from Wine? Has someone an easy example for me?

This applies to any *NIX not just Linux. Mac OS X is *NIX after all.

This is very true. However, this may appear to be difficult, but you have to remember that a .app folder is 'special' but if you want to run an executible from within it, you certainly can. Some programs rely on scripts that are included, but not visible, with the .app or they will not run or run poorly.

Are you trying to run a Mac application through wine, e.g., on Linux?
Or are you trying to call a Mac binary under Wine while running Wine
on OS X?

James is correct.

On mac, the .app is actually a folder.

Use command line to get to the launcher. It is usually in a MacOS
folder I think.

If you can't get it to launch from terminal, try the "open" command.
Here's a tutorial:

Thanks to all of you. I didn't think it would be that simple.
