Trying to Install Wine on Snow Leopard OSX

Post by sigma »

This appears:

seko$ sudo port install wine-devel
---> Computing dependencies for wine-devel
---> Fetching wine-devel
---> Attempting to fetch wine-1.1.34.tar.bz2 from http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/wine
---> Verifying checksum(s) for wine-devel
---> Extracting wine-devel
Error: You cannot install wine-devel for the architecture(s) i386
Error: because /opt/local/lib/libexpat.dylib only contains the architecture(s) x86_64.
Error: Try reinstalling the port that provides /opt/local/lib/libexpat.dylib with the +universal variant.
Error: Target org.macports.extract returned: incompatible architectures in dependencies
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

Anyone to help will be on my eternal <3 list.

I tried the basic wine
-> sudo port install wine

but it failed at the end because wine 1.x did not support snow leopard. but what's wrong with the devel build?

You have to remove and then reinstall the MacPorts as universal rather than x86_64. Wine for MacOSX will NOT build for X86_64 and will NOT be able to run any Win32 programs.

This is exactly what you must do. If you need help, please look through forum postings related to running Wine on MacOSX Snow Leopard or review this on the MacPorts web site.

Nothing. Wine x86_64 is not stable, or in most cases usable. Thus MacPorts is not building it, yet.

Do what it says:

-> sudo port install expat +universal

There's probably more ports that need to be installed that way. If it
gives you another filename (like /opt/local/lib/libexpat.dylib), just run:

-> port provides <filename>

where <filename> is the name of the file, and it will tell you which
port provides that file. Then you can install it +universal with:

-> sudo port install <portname> +universal

where <portname> is the name of the port that 'port provides' told you
provides <filename>.

You don't want that version anyway. It's over a year old.

Nothing's wrong with wine-devel, you just need to install some ports
+universal to get it to work on Snow Leopard. (I take it you're on SL,
right?)
