So far I've tried uninstalling wine and xquartz through brew via brew uninstall wineĪnd redoing the process from the beginning, running sh winetricks.sh dotnet45 I think I have to address an issue with mscoree.dll in winetricks.sh, but I don't know for sure or have a clue as to how I'd approach that.įor the record: I'm on MacOS Sierra 10.12.2, and have winebottler combo installed, as I had to use that to get PkHex to work (can't get 3DSRNGTool to work in winebottler either). "0009:err:module:attach_dlls Importing dlls for L"Z:\\3DSRNGTool.exe" failed, status c0000135" "0009:err:module:import_dll Library mscoree.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\\3DSRNGTool.exe") not found"
That doesn’t mean a Linux machine can’t access the full power of Office for Windows or Mac with a little geeky trickery. There’s no ‘Microsoft Office for Linux’ and unlikely there ever will be. Running wine 3DSRNGTool.exeĭespite the above errors gives 2 error codes: Get real Microsoft Office running on Linux in four different ways a virtual machine, remote access, browser apps or Wine.
NET 4.5 again after (attempting) to remove the default wine folder yields the same result as above. Reports "wine 3.0" so I'm fairly certain Wine installed correctly.Īttempting to install. Yields "/.wine is a directory" I should note that I cannot find this folder in Finder, nor can I find Wine installed as an Application wine -version In Terminal I get "warning: taskset/cpuset not available on your platform" and a note that I'm using a 64-bit WINEPREFIX and to try a "clean 32-bit WINEPREFIX" if I encounter errors, followed by "error: dotnet45 conflicts with dotnet40, which is already installed."
First off, using brew to install xquartz and wine installs versions 2.7.11 and 3.0, respectively, so I'm not sure if that's where my issues are stemming from.
As I mentioned, my preferred Linux distribution is Linux Mint because for me it was the easiest to install, setup and customise.Thanks for the guide, but I appear to be stuck at step 3. These will often download as an iso image anyway. Next you need to create an iso image of the Linus distribution that you wish to use.
The most popular utility is refind and there is an excellent site detailing how to use refind here. In order to do this a resource is required for selecting which operating system to boot into at startup. Parallels costs £64.99 and can be downloaded here.įor bolder individuals, you can configure your Mac to boot directly into Linux. The only real disadvantage of Parallels is that any performance gain in using Linux on an older machine is lost because you are still running your host operating system as well. If somethng goes badly wrong you can simply delete the containser and start again or revert to any saved “snapshot” that you may have made.
The clever aspect of Parallels is that the software enables sharing of files and services between the host operating system (Your Mac OSX system) and the system runnng in the parallels container. You can have multiple containers with different operating systems (Windows, Android, Linux, Chrome, Other versions of OSX). Parallels is software that creates “Containers” for operating systems to run on your mac under emulation. If you want to run an app from the Mac App Store, copy the. The easiest way to start experimenting with Linux is to install the operating system to run within Parallels. To attempt to run a macOS program, first download the appropriate files. So if you have an older PC or Mac and are willing to put in some effort, installing Linux may be a good idea. This can bring a new lease of life to ageing hardware. Linux runs faston the Mac, even when it is running under emulation in parallels because Linux is much less resource dependent.
