WineConf Call for Hosts

This is a call for proposals to host the next WineConf sometime this year. Ideally proposals would present;

Winetricks is a helper script to download and install various redistributable runtime libraries needed to run some programs in Wine. These may include replacements for components of Wine using closed source libraries.

Proposed dates
Proposed city
Information on potential venues and travel

We'll need to choose a host relatively quickly as it does take time to plan and book the event. I'm hoping we can settle on a host by the end of February but ultimately that decision goes to the Wine Committee. Questions, comments, concerns can be posted on the WineConf mailing list. A draft of a guide to hosting has been started on the wiki [1]. Please take a look to get a sense of what is involved in hosting the conference.

A front-end launcher program for Foobar2000 on Mac OS X that is running under WINE. If you have wine installed, this script merely creates a launcher app for running foobar2000, therefore Foobar2000mac is now accessible in Launchpad and/or can be pinned to your Dock.

Anyone who wants to run Foobar2000 using the MS Windows compatibility layer called Wine and have a easy to use launcher program to start it. The benefits of this approach are

First grab a copy of foobar2000's installer here via foobar2000.org

Homebrew Method:

If you have Wine already installed, then skip to Step 4. Otherwise you should know that setting this up is not for the faint of heart, but you will learn much along the way. Installing X11, Java RE, MacPorts, Xcode, Wine is a bit time consuming, but it is worth it.Things go more smoothly by following this setup order:

X11 must be installed. If you don't know what it is or never installed it on your Mac (it's a seperate OS X add-on Apple releases), then go grab it from this website here:
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) must be installed. Check to see if Java is installed by opening a terminal and typing:
java -version

If you do have Java installed, then it will show you what version you have,

otherwise, download and install the JRE from here:

Wine Terminal Mac

MacPorts must be installed. Ports gives you access to a repository like Linux has to find, install, and update thousands of free *nix programs that Apple left out. It does this by grabbing the software code required to build into a runnable program, builds, and installs it. It may take longer than downloading and installing a program that is ready to install, but programs and their dependencies are more likely to run better and faster, since it was built for your exact setup instead of being built for all setups. Download it here:

This has a few steps which cost nothing but time, which are

Once MacPorts is installed, then in a terminal use these command to update Ports, then install Wine:
sudo port selfupdatesudo port upgrade outdated

Note:If installing a new port program or upgrading outdated fails, restart your computer and try again.This will clear out your system temp folder, and it will often fix any install problems.

Mac Os Terminal Install Command

Depending on the speed of your computer, it might take a few hours to build and install wine, along with all it's resources it requires.

If you want to search for other Port programs use this command
