More Information about Wineskin
Wine Mac Catalina
Wine (originally an acronym for 'Wine Is Not an Emulator') is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, macOS, & BSD. Instead of simulating internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator, Wine translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on. Bonus: if your mac is more like cheeseburger pasta, this is a pairing made in heaven. Classic Pairing: Simmonet Febvre Chablis Premier Cru Stony minerality and green apple flavors in this wine cleans up after molten macs with ease; Budget Pairing: Domaine Jean-Marc Brocard Chablis The best under $20 Chablis is lemony, bright, and easy.
While there is a lot to Wineskin, at its core it runs Windows™ software by using Wine (www.winehq.org), which is a re-implementation of the Win32 API for non-Windows™ operating systems.
- Wine has always been popular among Linux users for running Windows programs, but Wine is available for Mac, too - and now, free utility WineBottler can 'bottle' Windows programs into separate application bundles that run as standalone Mac apps.
- WineBottler packages Windows-based programs snugly into OS X app-bundles. No need to install emulators or operating systems - WineBottler uses the great open-source tool Wine to run the binaries on your Mac.
Normal Wineskin Engine builds’ Wine versions are built from Wine source code from www.winehq.org
Crossover Engine builds are built from the Wine source code used in the Crossover.

Wineskin Engines use WineskinX11, a custom version of X11 (required by Wine) made from XQuartz, which is an x.org based X11 server. It does not use Apple's X11.app. You can have it use XQuartz.app instead of WineskinX11 if you so choose. Wine versions from around 1.5.26+ have a Wine Mac driver that can also be used instead of needing X11.
