From c2d01bcadb2b6456b02d30d849b07d99a3541dda Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jonschenk Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 23:36:57 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Update macOS wine instructions in README The wine-crossover cask was removed from the gcenx/wine tap and its release downloads are no longer hosted, so the documented install command fails. Recommend the WineHQ wine-stable cask instead, with a note on unquarantining the app since the builds are not notarized. --- README.md | 11 +++++++---- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 5163c6a..14af73a 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -52,16 +52,19 @@ macOS brew install ninja ``` -- Install [wine-crossover](https://github.com/Gcenx/homebrew-wine): +- Install [wine-stable](https://github.com/Gcenx/macOS_Wine_builds): ```sh - brew install --cask --no-quarantine gcenx/wine/wine-crossover + brew install --cask wine-stable ``` -After OS upgrades, if macOS complains about `Wine Crossover.app` being unverified, you can unquarantine it using: +> [!NOTE] +> The previously recommended `wine-crossover` cask has been discontinued; its cask was removed from the `gcenx/wine` tap and its downloads are no longer hosted.
