Hi, I need help with using wine on mac osx. I used to use wine on Ubuntu and Linux Mint and it was relatively simple. But on mac osx, I used macports to dowload/install wine, and i used winecfg to create a prefix.

I can not figure out for the life of me how to launch an executable by clicking on it. It opens in TextEdit instead of launching in wine. Can someone explain to me how to make a.exe file launch by clicking on it? Do i have to register the filetype with wine? Wine is not in a.app format. I can run any.exe in terminal but it is less than convenient.

Thanks in advance. So wrap Wine in an application, and bind the.exe's to the wrapper application. Platypus (free download) Can be used to turn any Unix program or script into a double clickable application, as well as a drag and drop target application. It should be possible to wrap Wine with Platypus. As an alternative, you might try Applications -> Automator ->Install print driver for mac on rds server. Run Shell Script workflow, and save that as an application.

Then bind your.exe's to that workflow you created. NOTE: I have not played with Wine, so your mileage may vary.
