do you know if Wine works with Mac OS X PPC ?
it seems good because there is a ticket in 2002.
if no, there are a solution ?

However, I expect this will only work on Intel Macs. See to the FAQ
on the Wine web site:
http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/wine-faq/index#UNDER-WHAT-PLATFORMS-
WILL-WINE-RUN
"Thus running Windows binaries on other platforms (e.g. Mac OS X on
PowerPC) using just Wine is *not* possible."
On the other hand, the WINE wiki suggests that the Darwine project to
get WINE to run on Mac OS X/PPC is still going with some success [1],
and was last updated on Sourceforge at the end of last year [2]. I'd
agree with Ryan, though, that it's still likely to be alpha/
experimental software. (Apologies if I'm insulting your intelligence
by telling you this; I'm saying it for completeness.) If I had a
PowerPC machine, I'd test out Darwine to see whether or not it was
worth putting a port into the tree, but sadly my old 2001 iBook has
long since gone.
