Macos – Adding wine to bash profile

bashmacoswine

I have installed wine 1.7.50 from source. There weren’t any .dmg or .app installers available on version 1.7.50 which supports DirectX11. So, I had to install it via terminal from source via the below command. Install showed me some warning but no errors were thrown. 

./configure 
make depend 
make 
make install

I typed command which wine as it shows me path where wine got installed(I guess). 

/usr/local/bin/wine

However, when I type wine install.exe command or any other --version wine is not found. How would I add wine to .bash_profile?

You can add Wine as symbolic link in /usr/local/bin on a Mac. This directory usually already is included in the path variable and the procedure works seamlessly with the app install of Wine.

sudo ln -s /Applications/Wine.app/Contents/Resources/bin/wine /usr/local/bin/wine
