Aurora works perfectly with Parallels.  Also smooth switching back to Mac OS to do whatever while NPCs are fighting it out.

Well i finally got macports set up as well as XCode, sadly it seems that the current build of winetricks isn't functional, every time i try to install it i have an issue with Orbit2 building and the macports website itself hasn't been very helpful.

@Narmio

Could you tell me just where the command line work was needed? I've used winebottler before and had some success, but the system still crashed almost at random so *shrug*

I found it was easier to install Wine via Winebottler (winebottler.kronenberg.org) and then use its inbuilt interface to winetricks to implement the suggestions from http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=27303 .  It took some fiddling to get everything working, but it wasn't too bad.  By that I mean a bunch command line work was required, but I learnt most of the required stuff via frantic googling rather than innate Unix guru powers.

A permissions issue, or maybe a bad path. Try installing it to your home directory: probably something like Z:\Users\THmanslyr\Aurora

I've never used Wine before, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but SETUP. exe keeps saying it could not create the directory.

If y'all get the file, we can put it here.

Yes but you need an apple developer's account or somesuch, I registered but never got the confirmation email.

Quite right. You can still download the older versions of xcode from somewhere. I've had to do it myself.

Karlito those Xcodes are to high of a version, anything above Xcode 3 i believe doesn't work. At least i think.

You should be able to download xcode.

If Xcode is the only problem then there should be a copy on your Snow Leopard installation disk under 'optional installs.'

I don't have the original disk, the mac i'm using is a gift from a relative of mine who does coding work up in San Francisco. Also thank you for gracing this thread mighty Steve and Erik.

Just bought my wife a Macbook with the new retina screen for her birthday. Very nice indeed. I think I have used it more than her :)

I must admit I am tempted to get a desktop Mac but everything I have is windows-based so it would be a massive change,.
