BRB, on my way to the Catalina Wine Mixer with Boats n’ hoe-lsome ladies (61 Photos) 2351 Liked! Look, we might not have our own fancy boat, or have been invited to any water-related wine mixer, but we’ve got something better; the Copper Bar and TheCHIVE HQ. And yes, we want you to come. 32Bit support was removed however, wine-crossover was built from crossover-sources-20.0.2 & wine-crossover@19.0.2 was built from crossover-sources-19.0.2 plus additinal patches, these contains wine32on64 this allows running 32Bit windows binaries. MacOS Catalina 10.15.4 or later work, macOS Catalina 10.15.0 to 10.15.3 require SIP to be disabled.
Since upgrade macOS to 10.15 Catalina, 32bit applications are no longer supported. It causes mac user some inconvenience to continue use legacy applications. A typical case is the Mikrotik RouteOS management and configuration tool winbox cannot run on macOS anymore. The main reason behind winbox not able to run is related to a windows application simulation tool wine (winehq) is no longer supported by Catalina. Imvu mac beta.
To solve this issue, there’s two ways.
- Get a Winbox macOS version directly from https://joshaven.com/resources/tools/winbox-for-mac/ – Be aware, this is not an official release and some limitation. It needs to wait for new release after Mikrotik winbox update.
- A small trick to let wine continue to work under macOS Catalina. See instruction below.
Steps:
- Download latest Winbox from offical website https://www.mikrotik.com/download, please choose winbox (64-bit)
- Move winbox64.exe to /Applications/ folder
- Download XQuartx 2.7.11 from https://www.xquartz.org/releases/XQuartz-2.7.11.html and install
- Download Wine Stable 5.0 from https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/macosx/download.html (Wine Dev/Staging version may have some compatible issues)
- Please choose Wine Stable 5.0 installer not the tarball which will cause idiot Symantec SEP client lot Heur.AdvML.B report.
- Install Wine Stable 5.0 and choose 64-bit support during the installation
- Open macOS Automator app and create a new application
- Save the created Automator application to the Desktop for example
- Now double click the Desktop Automator icon, it will bring up Wine. The first start up, it will install couple components (mono and gekco) of wine required.
- Idiot Symantec SEP client will report /Users/xxx/.wine/drive_c/windows/mono/mono-2.0/support/installinf-x86.exe as malware (Trojan.Gen.2). You can just ignore it or uninstall Symantec SEP client. macOS does not need Symantec.
- Your winbox is ready to use now.
- Optional: Right click the Automator application and get info, you can change the logo from there.
- You may experience macOS complaining winbox64 is not verified app, needs to move to bin. You can ignore this message by click ‘cancel’, then goto system security to allow winbox64 anyway, or disable gatekeeper (at your own risk).
Update:
Wine Download Mac Catalina
As wine requires XQuartx, and XQuartx hasn’t been updated for almost 4 years, there’s a security vulnerability within XQuartx. Please refer https://www.xfelix.com/2020/04/fix-xquartz-sparkle-vulnerability/ to address the issue.
This is the current development branch of Wine. The name is a bit misleading as it is superior to the stable build in most aspects. If your program is laking some functionality under wine, this is the version to go with, as it is evolving very fast. Check back often to download the most recent version. One of the big news is, that it does not need X11 anymore.
The current stable branch of Wine. It is usually very static and only receiving very few updates. If your program runs with it, it is a great way of having a solid base to use your apps on.
This is the last 'complete' version of Wine for OS X Tiger. You can use this version of WineBottler together with the 1.4.0 and the 1.4.1 No-Audio-Build on OS X Tiger (see below). Wine is no longer actively developed for OS X Tiger.
