Errors install Wine

[parnmatt@…]

Errors —how do I get it to work?

I followed the instructions from the Manual $ man port and followed all the online material i could find.

Here is what I am getting, copied from terminal

What's going wrong? How do I fix it?

I need to use Wine so that I can run certain Windows programs. I don't want to buy prodeucts, and I don't want to use Boot Camp, as I'd still need a Window's disc.

I have used Wine on my old laptop that ran Ubuntu Linux, but for what ever reason, it just doesn't want to install.

You need to install Xcode.

You may also want to consider using the port wine-devel instead of the port wine; wine is the latest stable version, 1.0.1, but that's quite old at this point. wine-devel is the latest development version (currently 1.1.24 but it gets updated about every 2 weeks).

i tried wine-devel …it also didn't work

but non-the-less I got it working "Xcode"
