Mac equivalent to Wine?

Baasha · 05-03-2007, 07:41 PM

Wine is a great program but some Windows programs just don't run with Wine.

My question is: If one could find a Mac version of the Windows program that Wine can't handle, is there a Linux equivalent to Wine that will run the Mac program? Just to be clear, I want to run a Mac program on my x86 PC.

Don't most mac programs have a windows version as well.

As far as I know, their doesn't exist a macosx API for linux (like Wine).

I've toyed around with PearPC (a mac emulator) but that really wasn't as pleasant as I hoped it to be:
http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/
It's a start and absolutely not useless.
I'm still hoping for a Xen or VMware client though.

PS: Most mac(OSX) programs are actually very easy to port.
I just doubt that Aplle will ever be willing to do(or allow) so...
