Bug ID: 42037 Summary: macOS Wine Staging.app dependencies Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 OS: Mac OS X Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: f.platte@platte-web.de
Hi there.
I just installed the latest Wine-Staging release for macOS. As I missed some kind of winetricks GUI like being included with Wineskin I wrote one. Its applescript based with a hugh amount of bash code. Feel free to enhance (kinda slow).
It includes automated updating (and initial downloading) of winetricks (interval based) and provides a GUI for winetricks' installations. It does not feature bottle-managment.
Technically it's not location depended (does not need to resist in Applications folder) and even houses the winetricks script within the ".app" file. The execution of the selected winetrick is automatically handed over to the Terminal.app to get some graphical feedback.
I hope for some it might be an enhancement to the incredible useful winetricks script.

One thing I forgot to mention is that it does not bundle cabextract, which will prevent some winetricks from working

--- Comment #2 from Rosanne DiMesio dimesio@earthlink.net --- Winetricks is a separate project; it is not packaged here.

--- Comment #3 from Michael Müller michael@fds-team.de --- The idea behind the official Wine packages is to ship a mostly unmodified version, to make sure that no problems are introduced by third party patches or software. On macOS this does not completely work out though as Wine is not installed to /usr/bin/wine. In order to start Wine it is therefore necessary to correctly set the PATH environment variable or specify the full path. This might be a bit difficult for some users, so the packaging files for macOS contain some scripts and an executable to launch a preconfigured Wine Terminal through Launchpad.
I don't mind accepting patches which improve those scripts and make it easier for people to use Wine (maybe even a minimal GUI), but shipping or installing Winetricks is not an option. Winetricks is not part of WineHQ and most probably never will be, due to legal reasons (some winetricks recipes install software that require the user to own a windows license). If you have any other ideas or improvements, you can take a look at the existing scripts [1] (mostly wrapper.m and payload-wine/Contents/Resources/start/bin/) and open a new bug report or a pull request at github.
