**************************************************************************** Bordeaux Group Wineskin Pro Package Bordeaux Group, Inc. http://www.bordeauxgroup.com/ **************************************************************************** Date: 03/17/2011 I. Description Wineskin is a tool used to make wrappers to run Windows software on Mac OS X. The wrappers are in the form of a normal Mac Application, which can be double clicked and ran just like its native. They can also be used to make a distributable port of software. You do not need the Windows program's source code, you can attempt to port any program you want. With Wineskin Pro you will receive basic support for installing and configuring the Wineskin Application. We will also answer questions about installing engines and configuring wrappers, and in the near future provide custom engines that have been tested to work with today's most popular Games. Unlike other solutions you can have multiple engines (Wine versions) installed at one time, so if your favorite game runs in that engine you don't have to worry about it breaking in a future Wine release. II. Wineskin Pro Dependencies Wineskin Pro requires a Mac with an Intel (x86) compatible CPU. And OS X 10.5 or higher. III. Wine Dependencies Wineskin Pro has pre built Wine builds as well as CrossOver LGPL Wine builds available for download. After you have Wineskin Pro installed hit the + sign at the engine list, and select the engine you want to install and click install. It will download and install the engine and be ready to use. A engine is a Wine binary build for that release. IV. What is Wineskin Winery Pro.app? This is mainly a management and wrapper creation program. Using this you can keep up to date with the latest wrapper updates, the latest engine versions, build your own engines from Wine source, or create Wineskin wrappers to use. Any actual editing of a created wrapper is done from the wrapper itself. Once Wineskin Winery creates a wrapper, it has nothing to do with that wrapper anymore. Engines and wrapper updates installed from Wineskin Winery will be available inside the wrapper in Wineskin.app to be able to update or change engines in an existing wrapper. V. What is Wineskin? Wineskin is a tool used to make wrappers to run Windows software on Mac OS X. The wrappers are in the form of a normal Mac .app Application, which can be double clicked and ran just like a native app. VI. Known Issues Wineskin Pro can run many popular Games and Applications but it is not perfect by no means. The best way to now if your Game or Application will run is to search for it in the Wine Application Database and see other peoples results. VII. Compatibility Wineskin Pro is supported on Mac OS X 10.5 through the upcoming OS X 10.7 release. VIII.
