Installing fb2k for windows to a Mac in 2022

Post by toke0 »

I got it working (ish).
MacMini2018(i7), Monterey 12.3.1, Wineskin Winery 1.8.4.2, and the most tiresome finding: Engine 19.0.2-2!

Newer engines fail to draw any text or the drop down menus don't work.

I'm not sure if this info should be put somewhere, but here it is for reference to others, who might guugle info...

As per the pinned thread these forums have nothing to do with third-party projects.

Are you perhaps saying that the kind of info I posted, should not be posted here?

This was the place I came to find help on how to get this "3rd party project" (foobar2000) installed with Wine.
So I'd guess others might do the same.
And benefit from my post.

So can you clarify?

As per viewtopic.php?f=9&t=16403&sid=d0240143b ... 2f43242a15

Third-party projects are not supported here. Wineskin != upstream wine

WineCX isn’t even based on upstream wine sources but based on crossover-sources-19.0.2 with additional hacks/back-ported patches.

To benefit other Wineskin users you’d be better posting in the discussions section on WineskinsServer GitHub.

If this exactly same issue is still present when using wine-stable-7.0 or wine-devel-7.x then you’d be better server opening a bug report.
