Since upgrade macOS to 10.15 Catalina, 32bit applications are no longer supported. It causes mac user some inconvenience to continue use legacy applications. A typical case is the Mikrotik RouteOS management and configuration tool winbox cannot run on macOS anymore. The main reason behind winbox not able to run is related to a windows application simulation tool wine (winehq) is no longer supported by Catalina.
- MacOS Catalina and 64-bit. Posted on Monday, October 7th, 2019 at 10:34 am. Apple on Monday released macOS Catalina, the newest operating systems for the company’s Macs. While there is a wealth of new features in the latest version, Catalina is also the first macOS to require 64-bit apps. For those that have been following along, 64-bit.
- Run utility software like Quicken and Microsoft Office, or DirectX games, like Wizard101. And bonus: Games from your Steam library will run with CrossOver Chrome OS at native speeds. Buy Now – $39.95 — $59.95 Free Trial How to Install.
I was able to compile Wine 4.32 on Catalina. For this I needed the latest Xcode and brew to install the latest bison 3.5. It took about an hour to compile it using a MacBookPro mid-2015 running on an i7.
To solve this issue, there’s two ways.
- Get a Winbox macOS version directly from https://joshaven.com/resources/tools/winbox-for-mac/ – Be aware, this is not an official release and some limitation. It needs to wait for new release after Mikrotik winbox update.
- A small trick to let wine continue to work under macOS Catalina. See instruction below.
Steps:
- Download latest Winbox from offical website https://www.mikrotik.com/download, please choose winbox (64-bit)
- Move winbox64.exe to /Applications/ folder
- Download XQuartx 2.7.11 from https://www.xquartz.org/releases/XQuartz-2.7.11.html and install
- Download Wine Stable 5.0 from https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/macosx/download.html (Wine Dev/Staging version may have some compatible issues)
- Please choose Wine Stable 5.0 installer not the tarball which will cause idiot Symantec SEP client lot Heur.AdvML.B report.
- Install Wine Stable 5.0 and choose 64-bit support during the installation
- Open macOS Automator app and create a new application
- Save the created Automator application to the Desktop for example
- Now double click the Desktop Automator icon, it will bring up Wine. The first start up, it will install couple components (mono and gekco) of wine required.
- Idiot Symantec SEP client will report /Users/xxx/.wine/drive_c/windows/mono/mono-2.0/support/installinf-x86.exe as malware (Trojan.Gen.2). You can just ignore it or uninstall Symantec SEP client. macOS does not need Symantec.
- Your winbox is ready to use now.
- Optional: Right click the Automator application and get info, you can change the logo from there.
- You may experience macOS complaining winbox64 is not verified app, needs to move to bin. You can ignore this message by click ‘cancel’, then goto system security to allow winbox64 anyway, or disable gatekeeper (at your own risk).
Update:
As wine requires XQuartx, and XQuartx hasn’t been updated for almost 4 years, there’s a security vulnerability within XQuartx. Please refer https://www.xfelix.com/2020/04/fix-xquartz-sparkle-vulnerability/ to address the issue.
