You're never going to be able to get that to run using WINE or Wine Bottler. Even CrossOver would not be able to run it. You didn't give us any specs regarding which Mac you have, but you may be able to run Xilinx Vivado using Boot Camp.

Hiello,

Thanks for your reply. I have macbook air 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5. What other options I've other than bootcamp? Will boot camp effect the performance of my mac?

I would imagine that it would also run in a virtualizer like Parallels, Virtualbox, or VMWare Fusion. The only problem with any of these options is the amount of storage space required. If you have USB 3 or Thunderbolt on that MBA (and I believe you do) you can probably get away with putting the virtual environment file on an external drive (SSD would of course be best if you have to go this route) so that space isn't an issue, or upgrade the internal storage in that MBA so you have plenty, because Windows takes up a fair amount of space.

You have no other options to run Xilinx Vivado because it's a Windows program which requires at least Windows 7 and speedy graphics. Boot Camp will not effect the performance if your MacBook Air has enough drive space and memory. It's not difficult to setup a dual boot using Boot Camp, but your MacBook Air should have at least 4 GB of memory and a large enough flash drive to make a partition for Windows and still have room for OS X.
