Help Installing Wine Mono

installterminalwine

I installed Wine Mono from its Git page (by git clone), their README file says

To build Wine Mono, use the msi or bin target.

$ make msi

So I go to the directory (cd) then do make msi it outputs:

GNUmakefile:54: *** 'wine' command not found. Please install wine or specify its location in the WINE variable.  Stop.

so I follow the other option make bin

GNUmakefile:54: *** 'wine' command not found. Please install wine or specify its location in the WINE variable.  Stop.

so I try make /bin, and the sane happens.

Am I doing something wrong, also I may not have one of the dependencies, I do not know what are

  • libgdiplus, to support Mono's resource compiler.
  • The dos2unix command.

And I use a macOS 10.15.7 so I may not have (I don't know what is autotools, and I can install CMake again if required)

  • All of the dependencies of Mono for your native (presumably Linux)
    system, such as autotools, CMake and a C++ compiler.

EDIT: It also throws errors about libgnutls, like this:

0009:err:winediag:gnutls_initialize failed to load libgnutls, no support for encryption

Best Answer

It has a pretty explicit README...

Wine Mono is a package containing Mono and other projects, intended as a replacement for the .NET Framework (4.x and earlier) in Wine. It works in conjunction with Wine's builtin mscoree.dll, and it is not intended to be useful for any other purpose.

And a pretty explicit list of dependencies including...

  • Wine, for the winemsibuilder and cabarc commands. A 32-bit Wine is not necessary, despite the warnings when running 64-bit Wine.

If you are expecting this to be Wine itself, you are mistaken.
