Redirect to:

Wine (software)#Darwine

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

To an embedded anchor: This is a redirect from a topic that does not have its own page to an embedded anchor on the redirect's target page.
- An {{anchor|(anchor name)}} or {{visible anchor}} template, a HTML element with id="(anchor name)", or an |id=(anchor name) parameter might be installed at the beginning of a paragraph, in or near a section header or within a table. The anchor might also be an old section header that has been edited and is anchored within or near the new header to prevent broken internal and external links.
- Even though section headers of the general form ==(Header name)== are themselves a type of anchor, use {{R to section}} instead.

From a merge: This is a redirect from a page that was merged into another page. This redirect was kept in order to preserve the edit history of this page after its content was merged into the content of the target page. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated) or delete this page.
- For redirects with substantive page histories that did not result from page merges use {{R with history}} instead.

From a subtopic: This is a redirect from a subtopic of the target article or section.
- If the redirected subtopic could potentially have its own article in the future, then also tag the redirect with {{R with possibilities}} and {{R printworthy}}.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.

-'''Darwine''' was a port of the [[Wine (software)|Wine]] libraries to [[Darwin (operating system)|Darwin]] and [[macOS|Mac OS X]] (the Wine project provides [[source code]] for OS X but not binary builds). The Darwine project intended to port and develop Wine as well as other supporting tools that would allow Darwin and Mac OS X users to run Windows applications and to provide a Win32 API compatibility at application source code level.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/17376 |title=Archived copy |access-date=2009-05-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090126052549/http://macupdate.com/info.php/id/17376 |archive-date=2009-01-26 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="Ogasawara2006">{{cite book|author=Todd Ogasawara|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tLbrw9naN4AC&pg=PA5|title=Windows for Intel Macs|date=20 July 2006|publisher="O'Reilly Media, Inc."|isbn=978-0-596-52840-9|pages=5–}}</ref>
-Darwine is a free and open source software application that aims to allow applications designed for Microsoft Windows to run on Mac OS X operating systems. Darwine was developed from [[Wine (software)|Wine]] which performed these functions on other Unix and Linux operating systems. Darwine also provided a software library, known as Winelib, against which developers can compile Windows applications to help port them to Unix-like systems.
-==History==
-In 2002, part of the OpenDarwin team created Darwine to support compiling of Win32 source into [[Mach-O]]/[[PowerPC]] binaries for Macintosh computers. The group succeeded in porting Wine from ELF to Mach-0 [[Mach-O]]/[[PowerPC]].  The developers then worked to integrate the processor-emulator [[QEMU]] with a Mac OS-compatible version of Wine in order to run [[Win32]] EXEs on Mac OS X for PowerPC.
-Darwine's focus shifted due to the [[Mac transition to Intel processors]]. Darwine applied their patches to Wine for a separate [[x86]] Macintosh version of Darwine. [[x86]] Macintosh computers could run Windows programs (if compatible with Wine) [[native mode|natively]] — resulting in speeds comparable to Mac specific programs. The Darwine project stopped active development on the PowerPC version of Darwine in late 2006, but was later revived and new builds — without code changes — were created, starting in mid-2008 by other developers. Version 1.0 was released on June 17, 2008, the same day as version 1.0 of Wine.
-After this efforts were made to move patches from [[x86]] upstream into the main version of Wine. On May 29, 2009, kronenberg.org stated that "As some might have read on Wine-Devel, Darwine is dead for good. The OS X port of Wine formerly known as Darwine is now Wine."  It was also stated that in future kronenberg builds Darwine's WineHelper app would be replaced by a new one called [[WineBottler]].
-==Prebuilt binaries==
-The Wine project provides [[source code]] for [[x86]] versions of OS X but not binary builds. The Darwine project has had several developers release prebuilt binaries, available for download in a [[Apple Disk Image|DMG disk image]] for easier installation from their Sourceforge project page.
