I know next to nothing about Macs so would appreciate some help from those of you that do.
I have developed a database front end to a remote MySQL database for use by an association I belong to. I wrote this in Delphi 2009 on a Windows PC and it exists as a single .exe file. (Roughly all it does is send out SQL over the Internet in response to menu choices, gets data back and reports it on screen, maybe to a printer.)
A couple of my users have Macs so I want to see if I can get some sort of emulation to work. I think I need to use something like Wine or Wine Bottler to create a file I can send to them that they can run on their machines.
I have bought an old Apple PowerMac G5, 3.5GB RAM, 160 GB HDD, running Leopard 10.5.8 to experiment with.
Can anyone tell me if I will be able to run Wine Bottler on this machine, have any chance of running my windows application within it and be able to produce a file that will run on other Macs?
Also my understanding is that Wine Bottler produces a sort of 'stand alone' application file that I could send to my Mac users. Is this correct?
