MacOS – Unable to brew install wine

command linehomebrewmacoswinexcode

Getting an error when trying to install wine using brew. Made sure I ran brew update and brew upgrade. Tried installing libpng on it's own as well, but still getting same error.

Just installed Xcode, and made sure I accepted the terms.

Edit: Adding versions.

Mac OS X 10.11.6

Xcode: 8.1

Another edit: Looking through the gist of the error, I think this might be the culprit.

Edit: I was able to get it working by cloning the repo and building it from the source code. I am going to leave this question open, since I would prefer to install it with brew to make updating easier.

Best Answer

Good work with the detailed error message. I would try to install just libpng with brew install libpng and then if that fails brew update && brew update && brew doctor just to check out common issues. ( I know you said you tried this - but it's not clear that you succeeded with that try)

The above recommendation is from https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/master/docs/README.md#readme

That links to the Troubleshooting Checklist for if you find one package that fails you (looks like libpng from your logs so far).

run brew gist-logs <formula> (where <formula> is the name of the formula that fails you).
