Imac and Wine trouble - i need some help

[kingznake]

Hey guys, Im sure Ive come to the right place when it comes to mac problems, so i thought id share one

I have tried to get Wine working today, with no luck.

Im not sure if whoever can help me will need the Full log, but here is the last section of it, It wouldn't let me post the whole thing, it was too long.
I have installed x11, java and macports.

After about 45 minutes, it came back with this:
Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell command failed (see log for details)

Log:
:info:configure configure: error: lib(n)curses 32-bit development files not found, curses won't be supported.

I wish I could help, but have you tried looking at this tutorial to see if you configured everything correctly?

Also, If all else fails ... you can try CrossOver. It's Wine, but sooo much easier to configure. Only issue is that it's not free like Wine.

Hi there, yes everything is set up as it should be, not sure what the problem is.

I use crossover, but the software i want is known not to work with crossover, but works fine with Wine compiled with macports.

Log:
:info:configure configure: error: lib(n)curses 32-bit development files not found, curses won't be supported.

I am trying to use wine for the first time, and I also ran into this problem. It appears to be a known bug in MacPorts, see this bug report. Given the recent activity on the bug report it appears that it is actively being worked on.

I was able to work around it by setting the configure parameter "--without-curses" as described in the bug report.

If you want to try that, do the following:

1. Edit the file /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/x11/wine/Portfile using the sudo command.
2. Find the text --with-curses.
3. Change it to --without-curses.
4. sudo port clean wine
5. sudo port install wine

This will build wine without curses. I have no idea what functionality will be lost as a result. So use this workaround at your own risk.

Hope that helps...
