Oct 11, 2019 How to Run 32-Bit Apps in macOS Catalina. Apple's latest version of macOS, Catalina, officially ditches 32-bit app support, but you can still run the software you need by following these steps.
Building Wine on macOS
If you just want to install a recent version of Wine, and possibly report Bugs or AppDB tests, you should be fine just following the instructions on the main macOS page for installing a WineHQ package.
If you're interested in Submitting Patches or Regression Testing though, you'll want to build Wine from the tip of WineHQ's Git repo; this page explains how to do that on macOS in more detail.
Homebrew, MacPorts, and Fink are source repositories that can make it easier to build WINE on macOS, and some notes on using them are provided below. Note, however, that they are not part of the Wine Project; any problems with Homebrew, Macports, or Fink should be reported to the respective site.
In order to build and run Wine, you might need to install some extra software. Getting it shouldn't be much trouble though.
Xcode
The Xcode development suite is the primary kit you will need, regardless of whether you decide to do a minimal build from git, use a build script, or download from one of the ports projects. A version of it will be included in the Optional Installs folder of your macOS installation DVD. You should also be able to download the latest version for your model from the Apple developer site.
Grab for mac catalina beach. Jan 09, 2019 Grab is an app for macOS and Mac OS X that lets you take screenshots of your screen. This little utility supports capturing the entire window, the whole screen, or only a portion of your screen. Although other apps and utilities do similar things, Grab is a decent chap. Sure the built-in Command-Shift–3 and Command-Shift–4 shortcuts are. The Screenshot tool in macOS Mojave delivered new on-screen controls for easy access to every screenshot option and new video recording capabilities. That continues with macOS Catalina. On a desktop Mac, press Command-Shift-5 to summon the screen capture window.
Note: If you don't want to install the full suite, you should be able to make due with just the Command-Line Tools component of Xcode. This will include all of the necessary build tools and even git. Any other libraries should come pre-installed in macOS or can be pulled in automatically by other tools.
XQuartz
In the past, Wine's native Mac driver still needed a good deal of work so running Wine on macOS required installing an X11 server too. This is no longer necessary, but there are still some features missing from the Mac driver (see the to-dos on the macOS page) so you still might want to run Wine with the X11 driver.
![Make wine default app for exe macos windows 10 Make wine default app for exe macos windows 10](/uploads/1/2/6/6/126622969/820121905.jpg)
According to Wikipedia, from v10.3 (Panther) to v10.7 (Lion) of macOS, Apple at least included a Mac-compatible X11 server as an optional install. However, since v10.8 (Mountain Lion), Apple has stopped providing its own release of the X11 server and advises all users to download the newest version of a compatible X11 server directly from upstream.
The open-source XQuartz project develops the Mac version of X11; you can download the disk-image file directly from there, then just use the macOS installer.
During setup, the upstream XQuartz disk-image will replace /usr/X11 (which is in most PATH variables) with a symlink to /opt/X11 (where it installs the files). However, if you upgrade your release of macOS, this symlink may get clobbered, leading to fatal errors in X11 programs. Reinstalling XQuartz will repair the link automatically, or you can manually restore it with:
If you have a supplementary package manager, you might also be able to grab XQuartz (or an equivalent port of the vanilla xorg server):
- On homebrew, you can grab XQuartz from the related Caskroom repo:
- On MacPorts, you can get fresh ports of either the xorg-server (stable X11 server), xorg-server-devel (development X11 server), or xorg (full X11 system) packages. For example:
Once you have Xcode and a version of the X11 server (not required but highly recommended), you need to grab both the build and runtime dependencies for Wine. While you can just run Wine's configure script and keep installing libraries that it complains are missing, using a package manager will save you a lot of trouble and keep your system cleaner.
The main caveat with the various macOS package repos is that you do not want to mix them. Once you've decided to use one, stick with it, and if you decide to switch to a different one, it's probably best to uninstall all of your old packages first, then reinstall them with the new system.
The subsections below describe ways you can get just the necessary dependencies for Wine. If you want, you can always just install the appropriate wine package, which will pull in all the other packages you need. At that point, you can either uninstall just the wine package, or keep it and run your own build from within its directory.
Homebrew
Homebrew no longer provides a wine formula instead using cask to install wine.
The following would cover basic requirements;
As homebrew no longer provides universal dylibs anything outside of XQuartz provided files and the basic build dependencies would need to be built from source
MacPorts
On MacPorts, to get all the dependencies for Wine, both build and runtime, you just want to use the rdepof: query (short for 'recursive depends of') with the install command. Unless you definitely want the stable release of Wine, use the wine-devel package to get the most up-to-date dependency list:
Please Note:
If you're running macOS High Sierra you need to install XCode 9 & XCode 9 Command Line Tools, not the versions from the App Store.
If your running macOS Mojave you need to do some workarounds check https://trac.macports.org/ticket/56991#comment:70

Now with the dependencies installed, you will use almost the same procedure as described on the Building Wine page. You should be able to run ./configure and make with the same parameters as on another system.

Note: In the past on macOS, it was necessary to point to libraries and headers installed through the package managers too. However, recent versions of all the major package managers should either automatically add to your PATH variable or create symlinks into /usr/local.
You can configure your build directory to compile with clang like so:
Please Note: While Wine can be compiled using XCode on macOS (Compiling with XCode10 requires MacOSX10.13.sdk & setting min version to 10.7) , however compiling wine64 will have problems with regedit and other components so its better to cross-compile using Docker (instructions for this will be added later)
When installing Wine from source on macOS, you may need to make some quick configuration changes.
After compiling Wine from source, you can install it into /usr/local with make install, but it's highly recommended that you run it from the build directory.
Depending on how you installed XQuartz, you might see fatal errors in X11 when you try to run your own build of wine from the command-line. This is due to XQuartz installing into the /opt/X11/ directory and creating symlinks to /usr/X11/, neither of which is typically checked by the macOS dynamic linker. There are a couple of workarounds for this:
- The first is to add the usr/X11/lib directory to the DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. You can do this when invoking wine like so:
- The other method is to create symlinks to the libraries in usr/X11/lib/ from inside /usr/local/lib:
However, this second approach is more tedious to undo and may be more fragile in some situations.
You might need to tweak the actual directories in your list, but you can avoid the tedium of typing the list every time by setting it in one of your shell config files (e.g. .profile, .bash_profile, or .bashrc):
Joerg Hoehle proposed patching the winewrapper to adjust DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH every time wine is invoked. For some reason, the patch was rejected (perhaps changing PATH variables or symlinking should be done upstream by XQuartz?)

EXE files are made for users of Microsoft's Windows, but today you have several ways to use EXE files on your Mac. File Juicer | VirtualBox | Parallels | Fusion | ClamAV | Boot Camp | Crossover |
Extracts images, CAB and other files from EXE | Virtual Machine can run Windows | Virtual Machine can run Windows | Virtual Machine can run Windows | Virus scanning | Lets your Mac run Windows natively | 95% Windows replacement |
$18 | $0 + $129 | $80+$129 | $99+$129 | Free | $0+$129 | $40- |
File Juicerdoes not run EXE files. It searches inside the EXE file to see if it contains images, Flash games or animations, compressed .ZIP or .RAR archives and many other formats. If if finds any, it will extract and save them. An example EXE file containing photos: AutumnToadStools.EXE
13 second movie showing how to extract images from an EXE file (a screen saver). This will work on some EXE files, but not if the EXE file is encrypted or use a proprietary storage system.
ZIP and RAR files are common inside EXE files which are made 'self extracting' on Windows by wrapping them in an EXE file. You open ZIP files by double-clicking them. RAR files require RAR Expander.
Pocket PC applications are often packaged as 'Windows only installers' in EXE files, and the developers forget to make an installer for Mac OS X.
File Juicer can extract the CAB files from the exe file, and you can manually copy this file to the Pocket PC and get it installed this way.
File Juicer can extract the CAB files from the exe file, and you can manually copy this file to the Pocket PC and get it installed this way.
Adobe/Macromedia's Flash files are also often wrapped inside an EXE file. File Juicer can extract them, and you can play them with iSwiff .
Some EXE files containing other files are not possible to open with File Juicer. Typically this is packages made by installer applications like InstallerVise from MindVision.
The most affordable free and supported app to run Windows and apps on your Mac is VirtualBox from Oracle.
You do need a copy of Microsoft Windows, and the Home Edition of Windows 10 is about $129
It takes only a few minutes to download and install Virtual Box, but it may take more than an hour to get your copy of Windows and all the Windows software updates installed. You will also need 30-50GB of free disk space to set aside as to a virtual disk for your 'Windows PC'. I have successfully been able to run Windows 7 on a 20GB virtual disk
Parallels Desktop require a Mac with an Intel processor. It is more convenient to use than Apple's Boot Camp as it does not require to restart your Mac every time you want to run a Windows application.
Parallels Desktop is focused on personal use, while VMWare cater for enterprise users even though they keep VMWare Fusion for personal use
You still need a copy of Microsoft Windows and install it on a part of your hard disk. You also need to keep this part of your disk free of spyware, viruses. You can keep the Mac part of your disk separate from your Windows part, so nasty applications will not ruin your Mac data.
If your Mac is not quite new and only updated to macOS 13 'High Sierra' you can get away with an older copy of Parallels from Amazon: Parallels Desktop 13 for Mac
If you have a Mac with an Intel processor, VMWare Fusion will be an alternative to Parallels Desktop. VMWare is mostly focused on business users, but they still sell a version for personal use which is conveninent if you want to use the same software at home and at work. They are already known for making virtual Windows environments on Windows, so Windows users can run different versions of Windows on the same PC.
You do need a copy of Microsoft Windows
EXE files can be nasty to Windows users. If you want to use any of the applications below to run the EXE file you have, I recommend checking it for virus first. This is a good idea even though Windows viruses will only be dangerous for the part of your hard disk you set aside for Windows: one can never be too careful when running EXE files. Because File Juicer does not run EXE files, but search them for images, Flash animations and more, even infected EXE files are not dangerous when dropped on File Juicer for a search for extractable files.
ClamAV knows about 90.000 viruses. It is free and you can download ClamXav for Mac OS X here.
ClamXav is quite nice as it does not run in the background and slow your Mac down unless you directly ask for it (by launching ClamXav Sentry from the File menu).
The newest Macs have an Intel processor inside, and Apple has made it possible via BootCamp to install Windows in a part of your disk. With Boot Camp, you shut down your Mac and restart it as a real Windows PC which works at full speed. When you want to go back to Mac OS, you restart it again as a Mac. You still need to purchase a copy of Microsoft Windows, install it and keep that corner of your hard disk free of virus, worms and spyware.
Amazon: Microsoft Windows
Codeweavers CrossOver (since 2007) - is a way to Windows applications without having Windows. This is of course more affordable, and you don't have to work through a Windows installation which may take hours. The disadvantage is that it is not a 100% Windows replacement, but they have focused on the most common parts of Windows, and if an application only depend on those it should work. Their compatibility list of supported applications give an impression of how much of Windows they support.
