How to install games with Wine

[Trio]

Notes before installing:
- Precondition: Mac OS X 10.5.7 Leopart
- First, should a possible Old Wine and its prefixes ( Wine directory under HOME are deleted). An old wine-prefix can also use the command

mv. wine. wine-alt

Be retained. (Experienced users may of course also use the same for all the commands listed wine WINEPREFIX variable )
- please do not pay attention to the possible firewall or proxy to block or disrupt connections to the Internet.
- Always bring your patience as well run some things take longer / (eg, end game, read update from Steam with no visible progress) and make the best first, then
- Do not scare off the amount of text, it is much explanation for this inexperienced. All the repetitions in the text have been prepared with full awareness

Installation and Configuration Guide to Wine (step by step)

1) Xcode for Mac-only development at Apple
After a simple registration with Xcode for Mac you can download it from their official site, this can be downloaded. This is the development package from Apple, and will need to create your own programs (in our case for wine). The installation is again self-explanatory.

2) XQuartz
In Mac OS X Leopard, it is necessary to exchange the X11 system because the X11 in Leopard has problems with OpenGL. This requires XQuartz. I'd say it's something like X. Org Linux. Loading under the latest version (currently version 2.3.3.2) and Release the "Localication Updates.
Note: this is at least version 10.5.7 Leopard necessary. This package must when installing new versions of Mac OS X, Mac OS X Security Updates or Xcode to be reinstalled. The installation is simple because it is dmg images.
I think a reboot at this point is not wrong.

3) MacPorts
The very helpful program contains a catalog containing compiled by MacPorts programs, download them and can compile for your own system. All with one command. Again, a dmg package, and thus no explanation necessary. (The current version is at 1.7.1)


4) Wine
Now you can use MacPorts to "wine" to install.
Open a Terminal (in Applications / Utilities).

Run the command

sudo port selfupdate

For Password- out to make a package list update. (This is blocked, for example, my proxy)

Run the command

port wine search

Here you can see the currently latest stable version of Wine is 1.0.1 and the development version 1.1.24. The development version has apparently proved better for games and is therefore preferred. This is now with the command:

sudo port-v install wine-devel

(With the option-v actions are issued, otherwise you can see almost nothing)
When first "wine" is compiled with Xcode, are likely used many other packages and installed them. Wine on Mac OS X separately under / opt / local, and thus installed separately from the rest of the system.

5) winetricks
As the last of the basic installation winetricks is installed using MacPorts. The command

sudo port-v install winetricks

this is easily accessible from the hand. Winetricks is later used for easy installation of Windows wine components. This is around, I'd say an apt-get for wine.


6) Wine: Bootstrap and configuration for games
Guide the X11 application (in Applications / Utilities) from.
Click on the menu bar, click Settings under X11. Select the tab issue, the option "full screen" mode. There also give the indication as in full-screen mode, the X11 window, main window can be controlled. Command-H is a better and more convenient option, since the window is hidden and appears simply click on the big X in the dock again, and this also works in the game. In Command-Option-A, this minimized what could cause problems and, indeed, seems the only way back when X was active. I assume that this is not now. Wine directory in your home folder, or it has been renamed. To control this with the command:

ls-a-l

Go back and open a terminal and run the command:

winecfg

This will create a new wine-Windows environment under home directory / .wine (. In advance of the hidden directory to open in the Finder with Command-Shift-G). The message that the Gecko engine was not found, can first be ignored. In order to properly play the game only in full screen mode is set here under the tab graphics. Remove the check mark at: Allow the window manager to decorate the windows Remove the check mark at: Allow the window manager to control the windows. Put the checkmark next to: Emulate a virtual screen, and adjust the resolution of the later game, or at best the Mac desktop. (In my widescreen 1440 x 900 at 15 "). If the input does not function like you just press Command + Alt-A twice, or close the window and run winecfg again. You can then hook in the "Enable pixel shaders out" because this leads to problems in some games seem (to me accounted for Counter-Strike 1.6 but nothing). Click on Apply to accept the whole and to close the window.
