'''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>http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/17376</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 [[Apple–Intel transition]]. 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. |
