Then you can automatically remove installer files (.msi) from your prefix before shipping – if they are no longer needed. Wine will automatically add new users, when the app is run on a clients Mac. These two add ons can now be excluded: down 84%.įurther we added an option, to remove the “c:users” directory when shipping an app. They might not be needed by your app, but blow up an empty prefix up to 300mb. But Wine requires big add ons like gecko (for Webservices, 50mb) and mono (for. Yep, this one sounds to good to be true… right? □ But here we go:Ī clean Wine prefix weights in about 35mb.

I guess somebody has to kick you once a while to come up with proper solutions. The result is, of course, a correct linking through out the app - thank you Apple. Forcing us to “otool -L” and “install_name_tool -change” thru all the bins and libs of Wine to use proper relative paths for all Wine related libraries. Apple did this with security on its mind, so the proverb “There is the Easy Way and Then There is the Right Way” smacked the lazy dev in the face, once again.įirst, Apple got rid of LD_LIBRARY_PATH and DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH. In Apples proven one-two-combination, after the visual fixes in OS X Yosemite, we could expect a major cleanup in OS X El Capitan. Probably the most important feature is the update to run on OS X El Capitan. WineBottler 1.7.52 is a major update which sports some thrilling new features.
