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 alldlls=builtin Override most common DLLs to builtin alldlls=default Remove all DLL overrides ao=disabled Disable AlwaysOffscreen (default) ao=enabled Enable AlwaysOffscreen bad Fake verb that always returns false cfc=disable Disable CheckFloatConstants (default) cfc=enabled Enable CheckFloatConstants csmt=off Disable Command Stream Multithreading (default) csmt=on Enable Command Stream Multithreading ddr=gdi Set DirectDrawRenderer to gdi ddr=opengl Set DirectDrawRenderer to opengl fontfix Check for broken fonts fontsmooth=bgr Enable subpixel font smoothing for BGR LCDs fontsmooth=disable Disable font smoothing fontsmooth=gray Enable subpixel font smoothing fontsmooth=rgb Enable subpixel font smoothing for RGB LCDs forcemono Force using Mono instead of .NET (for debugging) glsl=disabled Disable GLSL shaders, use ARB shaders (faster, but sometimes breaks) glsl=enabled Enable GLSL shaders (default) good Fake verb that always returns true grabfullscreen=n Disable cursor clipping for full-screen windows (default) grabfullscreen=y Force cursor clipping for full-screen windows (needed by some games) gsm=0 Set MaxShaderModelGS to 0 gsm=1 Set MaxShaderModelGS to 1 gsm=2 Set MaxShaderModelGS to 2 gsm=3 Set MaxShaderModelGS to 3 heapcheck Enable heap checking with GlobalFlag hidewineexports=disable Disable hiding Wine exports from applications (wine-staging) hidewineexports=enable Enable hiding Wine exports from applications (wine-staging) hosts Add empty C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\{hosts,services} files macdriver=mac Enable the Mac native Quartz driver (default) macdriver=x11 Disable the Mac native Quartz driver, use X11 instead multisampling=disabled Disable Direct3D multisampling multisampling=enabled Enable Direct3D multisampling mwo=disable Set DirectInput MouseWarpOverride to disable mwo=enabled Set DirectInput MouseWarpOverride to enabled (default) mwo=force Set DirectInput MouseWarpOverride to force (needed by some games) native_mdac Override odbc32, odbccp32 and oledb32 native_oleaut32 Override oleaut32 nocrashdialog Disable crash dialog npm=repack Set NonPower2Mode to repack nt40 Set windows version to Windows NT 4.0 orm=backbuffer Set OffscreenRenderingMode=backbuffer orm=fbo Set OffscreenRenderingMode=fbo (default) psm=0 Set MaxShaderModelPS to 0 psm=1 Set MaxShaderModelPS to 1 psm=2 Set MaxShaderModelPS to 2 psm=3 Set MaxShaderModelPS to 3 remove_mono Remove builtin wine-mono rtlm=auto Set RenderTargetLockMode to auto (default) rtlm=disabled Set RenderTargetLockMode to disabled rtlm=readdraw Set RenderTargetLockMode to readdraw rtlm=readtex Set RenderTargetLockMode to readtex rtlm=texdraw Set RenderTargetLockMode to texdraw rtlm=textex Set RenderTargetLockMode to textex sandbox Sandbox the wineprefix - remove links to /Users/kjk sound=alsa Set sound driver to ALSA sound=coreaudio Set sound driver to Mac CoreAudio sound=disabled Set sound driver to disabled sound=oss Set sound driver to OSS sound=pulse Set sound driver to PulseAudio strictdrawordering=disabled Disable StrictDrawOrdering (default) strictdrawordering=enabled Enable StrictDrawOrdering vd=1024x768 Enable virtual desktop, set size to 1024x768 vd=1280x1024 Enable virtual desktop, set size to 1280x1024 vd=1440x900 Enable virtual desktop, set size to 1440x900 vd=640x480 Enable virtual desktop, set size to 640x480 vd=800x600 Enable virtual desktop, set size to 800x600 vd=off Disable virtual desktop videomemorysize=1024 Tell Wine your video card has 1024MB RAM videomemorysize=2048 Tell Wine your video card has 2048MB RAM videomemorysize=512 Tell Wine your video card has 512MB RAM videomemorysize=default Let Wine detect amount of video card memory vista Set Windows version to Windows Vista vsm=0 Set MaxShaderModelVS to 0 vsm=1 Set MaxShaderModelVS to 1 vsm=2 Set MaxShaderModelVS to 2 vsm=3 Set MaxShaderModelVS to 3 win10 Set Windows version to Windows 10 win2k Set Windows version to Windows 2000 win2k3 Set Windows version to Windows 2003 win2k8 Set Windows version to Windows 2008 R2 win31 Set Windows version to Windows 3.1 win7 Set Windows version to Windows 7 win8 Set Windows version to Windows 8 win81 Set Windows version to Windows 8.1 win95 Set Windows version to Windows 95 win98 Set Windows version to Windows 98 windowmanagerdecorated=n Prevent the window manager from decorating windows windowmanagerdecorated=y Allow the window manager to decorate windows (default) windowmanagermanaged=n Prevent the window manager from controlling windows windowmanagermanaged=y Allow the window manager to control windows (default) winver= Set Windows version to default (win7) winxp Set Windows version to Windows XP
