Issue Starting Winetricks

[ejbrownsd]

I cannot start Winetricks on my Mac. It is an intel Mac and I have wine 8.0.1 installed, however when I go to run winetricks, I get this error: "warning: taskset/cpuset not available on your platform!

warning: Your version of wine is no longer supported upstream. You should upgrade to 6.x"

What can I do?

Where did you install wine from?

Hard to say what went wrong here without a log (winetricks -v); but my guess is that you're using some wrapper for wine, or wine is not on your path and winetricks can't find it.

I have this issue as well. I've installed winetricks and wine-stable using homebrew on macOS 13.5.2.

Homebrew install commands:

brew install winetricks
brew install wine-stable

Output of winetricks command:

% winetricks

Hello, you should preface the command with the Wine prefix. Example if I want to install mfc42 I should run this in the terminal:
WINE=wine64 winetricks install mfc42

This one is pretty self-explanatory I think?

The WINE variable is not about the prefix, but the Wine executable.

There's probably something odd going here, and as mentioned initially, more log output will probably be needed to figure out this one.
