Wineskin Alternative Mac

We talked about it in the past about the Apple Silicon Macs support in Porting Kit. Codeweavers already builtin the support in CX20.0.1 and CX20.0.2, but with Wineskin 2.9.0.7 RC2 and with the special built of CX20.0.2 engines (great work Dean!) in combination with Mac OS Big Sur 11.1+ we finally can play Windows games on Apple Silicon Macs using Porting Kit 4 Beta! Oct 09, 2017 As stated in the introduction, Wineskin can throw-up many glitches and problems depending on the specific setup of your Mac, the version of Wine or Wineskin you are using and updates to macOS. Often you’ll find solving the problems are more hassle than it’s worth and we definitely recommend trying an alternative to MS Money on Mac first. Wineskin install and modding guide (play Oblivion on a Mac!) - posted in Oblivion Mod Talk: Yes, its possible to install and mod Oblivion on a Mac! This guide will show you how, using Wineskin, a GUI interface for Wine. Wine is a free, powerful run environment for Windows software that translates Windows instructions to instructions other operating systems, like Mac or Linux, can understand.

Manage and download Engines, or even custom build engines from Wine source code. Get Master Wrapper updates Create Wineskin wrappers Wineskin is a tool used to make wrappers to run Windows. Wineskin is a tool used to make ports of Windows software to Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard (or later). The ports are in the form of normal Mac application bundle wrappers. It works like a wrapper around the Windows software, and you can share just the wrappers if you choose (that is the strategy used here).

In a previous article, I have shown you how to install OS X El Capitan GM (golden master) or other Beta version without developer account. As I sometime still need Windows-based program such as Mikrotik Winbox, I need to have WINE (Windows Emulator) on my Mac. In this post I would like to guide you how to install Wine on OS X El Capitan. At the time of this writing, the latest version of OS X is OS X 10.11 El Capitan GM (Golden Master).

UPDATE: If you also want to install Microsoft Visio on Mac, you can follow our post how to install Visio on Mac running OS X El Capitan.

Requirements

1. Latest version of OS X El Capitan (Golden Master build at this time of this writing)
2. Latest version of Xcode (Xcode 7.0 GM, you can download it from https://imzdl.com/osx.html if you are not a registered Apple developer.
3. Homebrew package manager for OS X. We will install Wine using Homebrew package manager.

I assume that you have done installing point 1 and 2 in the requirements above. So we just go to install Homebrew package manager.

Install Homebrew

Run the script below to install Homebrew:

Once it is installed, run the below command to install Wine.

Install WINE using Homebrew

Use

The format to install package using brew is “brew install package_name”:

To run a Windows program, use “wine /path/to/program.exe”.

Example below is to run Mikrotik Winbox using wine

Hopefully this post is helpful for anyone who want to install wine on OS X El Capitan.

Note: I know this is an old thread, and am just posting to help anyone else who stumbles upon this thread.


First of all: Wine (just plain wine) is NOT available for Mac, so that leave you with Wineskin, WineBottler, PlayOnMac, or CrossOver.

Wineskin Mac Os


Wineskin and WineBottler are intended for creating wrappers, which is basically converting it to a Mac application.


Wineskin gives you more customization over your wrapper.


WineBottler also comes with a system that lets you just run any exe on mac just like that.


PlayOnMac lets you download and run supported apps easily, but isn't good for just any exe.


CrossOver is paid software.


If all you want to do is run exes with right-click>Open With, than install WineBottler.
