Hello All,
I have released a preliminary version of the Darwine SDK version 0.1. Many people are interested in getting Darwine up and running so they can compile programs on OS X and this release should satisfy their curiosity. The SDK features the following:
-source code for the current Darwine binary 20040820
-source code for WineHelper
-Xcode Integration
-Xcode Template
-Updated Uninstaller
The Xcode integration allows for a user to compile windows source code from within the Xcode IDE using the wine tools. Users may want to note that there are some changes to the way Darwine is installed and functions. Due to limitations in Xcode, the wine source tools such as winegcc, winemaker, winebuild are installed in the /usr/bin directory and not the /Library/Darwine/bin directory. This may be changed in a future release but was necessary so Xcode integration would work correctly. As a result there is an updated uninstaller as well. The uninstaller will remove everything except for the Xcode project template folder, which is moved to the trash and needs to be removed manually.
To start a new Darwine project, simply launch Xcode, select new project, and select
Darwine (Windows) Application. Currently in Xcode the "Build and Run" does not work, it will build the program but not launch. However, the Build button works as expected. When compiling a Darwine application for the first time Xcode may give the error:
"ld: table of contents for archive: /Library/Darwine/lib/wine/lib<name>.a is out of date; rerun ranlib(1) (can't load from it)"
Open a terminal and type the following command:
"sudo ranlib /Library/Darwine/lib/wine/lib<name>.a"
<name> being replaced by the name of the library whose table of contents is out of date.
The source code should then compile fine. There are many examples of source in the wine source code "programs" folder which is located in the root of the source directory. Simple programs should compile fine. However, bigger programs that depend on more of the windows headers will probably not compile due to header incompatabitlies between the wine and OS X headers.
You can download the preliminary release here http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/darwine/Darwine_SDK0.1.dmg?download or through the Darwine web site http://darwine.opendarwin.org
Post any comments, questions or concerns to the Darwine Mailing List "email@hidden" .
Remember this is a preliminary release and there are many bugs and issues that need to be worked out and features that need to be implemented. More information will be posted on the Darwine website in the near feature.
Last but not least enjoy.
