The official Wine project can be found at įor our purposes we will be using an off shoot of the Wine Project called WineBottler by Mike Kronenberg. Instead of simulating internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator, Wine translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly, eliminating the performance and memory penalties of other methods and allowing you to cleanly integrate Windows applications into your desktop.” CodeWeavers also has a paid supported version of this software that is relatively inexpensive at about $60.Īccording to the official website, “Wine (originally an acronym for “Wine Is Not an Emulator”) is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, Mac OSX, & BSD. This project is supported by CodeWeavers. There is a project called Wine that enables MAC owners to run Windows programs on OS X for FREE. OS X is a Unix based operating system very different from Windows.ĭeveloping a version of ExpressPCB from the ground up for a different operating system environment is not currently a viable option. ExpressPCB is designed to run on Windows only. A commonly asked question is “Do you have a version of ExpressPCB for MAC?” The official answer is: We do not. At ExpressPCB we are constantly trying to find solutions for our current customers and future customers.
