Darwine Problems

• Cannot edit the config file ./winecfg runs but doesnt output to the config file (which we are still unable to locate)
  • Solution: Just edit user.reg, then add [Software\\Wine] and save the file! Then HKEY_CURRENT_USER will bi writable by wine and by winecfg!
• It will fail on any application that checks the windows version
  • Using WineCfg to set the version for a given executable usually fixes this problem.
• It cannot load .DLL files Sometimes, wine can't find the DLLs. Loading is not a problem.
  • Copying the right .dlls from the windows directory to the application's directory makes some apps work!
  • However, a much more elegant solution is to actually tell WINE where to look for DLLs by setting the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
• It won't work with applications that use OpenGL

Commentary

Some speculate that Darwine will rapidly improve over the next few months. Since Apple OS X86 and Windows XP run on very similiar hardware, expect many cross-overs. Darwine may soon be able to run XP applications seamlessly in Aqua, such that it is comparable to Rosetta's ability to run PowerPC applications.
