BlackBox Framework Center

Folks,

I need help in getting Wine to run on my MacBook.
I have installed Xcode 4.6.3
and MacPorts 2.3.4
and in a terminal window run

Code: Select all

$ sudo port install wine

but I get the error

Failed to configure libpng

Must I be running as root to install Wine?

Doug, here there are the description how I install Wine and BlackBox:

1. Add the PPA via command:

Code: Select all

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa

2. Update package cache and install wine1.8:

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install wine1.8, winetricks

3. Check the Wine installation

Code: Select all

$ wine notepad.exe

4. Wine konfigurieren

Code: Select all

$ wincfg
Add Drive
	C:	./drive_c                   Automatisch
	D:	/home/helmut/Dokumente/BB/  Automatisch
	U:	/media/helmut/7147-91A0/    Diskette
	Z:	/                           Automatisch

5. BlackBox installieren

Code: Select all

$ wine explorer.exe
or
$ wine Downloads/SetupBlackBox16.exe
in directory D:\BlackBox

Now you can run BlackBox.exe on Wine. After exit BlackBox I deleted all files in the BlackBox directory and copy version 1.7 into the BlackBox directory and started BlackBox.exe again.

I hope that helps

Doug,
it may be necessary to remove Wine before you install it again.

Thanks guys.
It turns out I had a mixture of Xcode due to an aborted first attempt.
When I installed the correct command line tools for OS X Lion it cleaned the mess up.
Wine appears to have now been installed correctly.

I am just about to try it.

Long story ... I no longer need Wine since I bought myself a Windows 10 machine
(still working on that to get the right look and feel).
