To install:
brew cask install xquartzbrew install winebrew install winetricks
Configure wine:
winetricks fontsmooth=bgr(winetricks fontsmooth=rgbworked just as well). This part is essential. Without it, the font display is truly awful.- to get all config options, run
winetricks settings list
To run an executable:
wine regeditorwine ~/Downloads/SumatraPDF.exe
I also tried latest CrossOver, but it has infuriating UI.
Wine on mac has 2 display drivers: native and using x11.
Native is used by default. We installed wine with
--without-x11 flag to disable x11 display driver completely. Without that wine will insist on installing x11 server (either via brew cask install xquartz or from https://www.xquartz.org/).
I don't know which driver is better.
If you install xquartz you can switch the driver with
winetricks macdriver=x11 (and switch back with winetrics macdriver=mac
