Where is wineserver on your mac?

Post by DanKegel »

winetricks currently looks in a list of standard places
(including $PATH and wherever-wine-was-found) for
wineserver, but I've seen a few reports of people
saying things like "Hello. Im using Lion and i cant get winetricks to work, it always says " Wineserver not found " any help".

So, where *is* wineserver on Lion? And how do people usually get Wine, is MacPorts the standard way these days?

every method I know adds it to $PATH ... in Wineskin its all added to the path correctly... even macports its in /opt/local/bin along with wine and other stuff, which is added to $PATH when you install Macports.

If someone is getting that error, I think you need to see how they installed Wine. I've seen people think that WineBottler's Wine.app is normal Wine and think they have Wine installed just because that app is there, but it won't help if you try to run Winetricks from command line.

I installed wine through the command prompt but i still cant find wineserver. Whenever i try to use winetricks it says that wineserver cant be found. in my bin folder i have a file called wineserver but it is a alias.

installed in command prompt how? You compiled the source code yourself by hand...? did you do the Install part or did it stay in the build folder? By default if you do the 'make install' at the end and never told it to go anywhere else, it should be in /usr/local/bin I think, which is in your path by default. If you didn't ever 'make install' then its not in your path, it just usable from the build folder.
