Status of Wine & Mac OS X

[Methril]

Dear Wine deevlopers.

I was looking thorugh the mailing list archives about the status of wine 
working in Intel-Macs.
I'd like to start helping the wine project making some effort in 
Macintel computer, and i like to reach some 3D approach that works in Mac.

Waiting your comments

Best Regards

Rafa Campos (aka methril).

It should work pretty much the same as on Linux. You do need an X11
server since the quartz driver isn't functional yet.

The Direct3D and OpenGL parts are working too, but I am struggling with some 
driver issues. Namely GLSL shaders are completely broken, but Jason Green 
tells me that this is MacOS'es fault. Other than that a few handy Nvidia 
extensions are missing, but apple has its own, so we may want to add a few 
codepaths for apple exts to wined3d. I did that for GL_APPLE_fence so far, 
but there are maybe others.

What needs work for getting 3D stuff working better is the quartz backend. I 
haven't done any comparison benchmarks yet, but I think we're loosing a bit 
of performance due to the X server(But not as much as many mac users think), 
and there are some window setup issues because of the X server and quartz-wm

I guess you need to visit Darwine site, too:
