Oh, so it's a Win16 program.
In that case, there are three things you can do:
- Run Windows in a VM, like John suggested. But that requires you to
have a Windows license.
- Upgrade to Snow Leopard. The reason MacPorts builds without Win16
support is that Xcode 3.x has a linker that can't handle 16-bit code
very well. Xcode 3.2, which comes with SL, does not have this problem.
- Patch the linker. See bug 14920
(http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14920 ) for more info.
If you pick one of the last two options, though, you'll then have to
change the Portfile to not pass --disable-win16 to Wine's configure script.
