Using the post below from a year or two ago, I am trying to install IrfanView on my MacPro running 10.6.8. I created a folder titled "wine" within the Users/name/Library etc Path and then downloaded the Wine version that was consistent with my OS. (The only one that had 10.6 in it... included 10.4 10.6 10.
When I tried to open wine it wont open saying I need OS 10.7 or better. I definitely loaded the option that included the 10.6Additionally, Im not understanding what winebottler is (see the forwarded post).
My goal is to print the "negative" of black backgrounded stock charts. From others I know.. it is possible with this IrfanView app.
SOrry if vague... Im not the most technical person. Thx

Red face Got IrfanView running on Mac Snow Leopard
I am posting this as a thank you, and hoping it may serve as a guide for other Wine newbies like myself.
I just got IrfanView up and running on my Mac (Intel Mac running Snow Leopard) using Wine 1.4.1 and WineBottler. This was a first time install of Wine. I had a little glitch in WineBottler when I tried to install IrfanView (using the predefined prefix for IrfanView in WineBottler).
However I was able to easily fix the problem. I simply manually created the new folder "Wine" in: "Users/{userName}/Library/Application Support/" (more details here), rebooted, and installed with no problems.
I have used IrfanView for many years on Windows, and am absolutely ecstatic that I now have this most excellent tool available on my Mac...
Many, many thanks and kudos to Irfan Skiljan and to the Wine developers for making it all possible!!
In great gratitude,
Bodhi
