Dear James: I have a question about the following: except he can easily right click the Wine folder here and hit "compress" makes a transportable zip, throw it on any other Mac's /Applications folder, double click the zip... and its there on the other machine... Except 'make install' puts files in /usr/bin and /usr/lib, not in the /Applications folder with vanilla Wine. I'm hoping that is not what we are discussing here. If the following sequence below will not work according to what you have said: ./configure --prefix=/Applications/Wine --disable-win16 make depend make make install What build sequence / options will place the all of final executables to /Application/Wine for example? Most files in /Applications are owned by root:bin or root:root and have read/execute permissions for other users. OK. For me just having the executables somewhere within the /Applications folder would be fine. Actually I plan the final installation location to be /Applications/Firefly/Wine In my case forcing this path to be fixed for each user is also OK. Thank you for your assistance! --Thomas
