If there are no packages / wrappers, just use the “update” button and “+” button to add engine from the Web. You may need to restart the app to make the engine appears in the list.

5) click “Create New Blank Wrapper”

Enter the name for the Mac program : “Wavosaur” is a good choice !

6) if you get some windows asking you for installing .NET support or Gecko support, just click “cancel”, Wavosaur doesn’t need .NET framework in order to run. It just needs a dll file, we’ll add it on step 10)

not .net

7) After some time, you should get the window as seen below :
click “View wrapper in Finder”
then close the Wineskin Winery App

8) right click on Wavosaur.app and select “Show Package Contents”, you should see a folder, a shortcut and a Wineskin.app

9) open drive_c /ProgramFiles and copy Wavosaur.exe into it

11) launch Wineskin.app, and select “Advanded”

12) click on “browse” for the Window EXE and select Wavosaur.exe from the “drive_c/Program Files”. You can also set an icon if you want => Wavosaur Mac icon

Set Wavosaur

At this time you can Test Run : it works ! If not, you can see an error log.

13) close the Wineskin.app, now you can use Wavosaur.app by double clicking on it, like any Mac application.
Copy Wavosaur.app anywhere you want (/Applications sounds like a good place).
