Wineskin Winery Mac Age Of Empires
Startup parameters are on a per-computer basis. If you add -nostartup on the Mac Steam, it doesn't transfer to the WINE Steam since they are considered different computers. If you can't right-click games in Steam on WINE, that's a problem I don't know how to fix. You can still add the -nostartup parameter by editing the Steam preference file. Recently the idea of playing AoE3 on a mac comes to me and I decide to give it a try. I have successfully install AoE3 using CrossOver and being working on installing using WineSkin. Though numbers of players playing AoE3 on a mac is relatively small, I still hope this small guide could help and save your time Special thanks to @mitoe and @durokan.

I'm trying to run Age of Empires III under wine.
I've created a wrapper, started up Steam, gotten it running, installed Age of Empires III and then fallen down a rabbit hole and ended up confused.So, Age of Empires III starts to load and then fails, claiming that the l3codecx is not installed.
Winetricks says it is installed, but I'm not afraid of the --force flag, so off to the command line I jog to type 'winetricks --force l3codecx' This is the advice in the appdb.
Well, oddly, winetricks barfs at this, claiming that the freetype library needs to be 2.0.5 or higher and that it cannot find libpng15.15.dylib
Okay, Google is my friend, this has come up several times, there's a wiki and a FAQ section about it.
I set my DYLD FALLBACK path with:
Wineskin Winery Mac Age Of Empires Conquerors
And then try 'winetricks --force l3codecx' and get the same answer: Freetype isn't there, there's no libpng, and basically this isn't going to work.Okay. So I
Code: Select all
I know that there's a freetype in /usr/X11/lib. I think that it's higher in version than 2.0.5 but am not really sure how to check. But the latest is 2.7, and that should just about handle it.But uh-oh: libpng is a pre-requisite to freetype, and it's gone from SourceForge and now the brew is busted.

That's okay, I'll install it by hand. I trundle off to www.libpng.net, grab the source, ./configure, make, make install, make a cup of tea and...
Okay, the installation of libpng seems to be there, but winetricks just will not see it. At all. The DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH is set correctly, it exists, I've symlinked the 15->16, since I can't figure out where winetricks is configuring the dylib it wants (it wants 1.5 but I've installed 1.6).
