**SOLVED** Steam.exe [2023-11-15 16:31:50] Nothing to do

[jorxster]

Following the instructions, brew downloads and compiles game-porting-toolkit ok, but when under the "Continue" header, and it asks me to run this command:

WINEPREFIX=~/Win10brew86 --prefix game-porting-toolkit/bin/wine64 winecfg

I get an error as I have no wine64 install inside game-porting-toolkit. How can I install wine64 here?

You probably skipped the 2nd command from:

brew86 tap apple/apple http://github.com/apple/homebrew-apple
brew86 -v install apple/apple/game-porting-toolkit

This would have installed the wine stuff.

So, what I actually had to do was brew untap the other game-porting-toolkit (gcenx/wine/game-porting-toolkit) and then was able to install the apple one. Previously I had let autocomplete to game-porting-toolkit-compiler, and that was my mistake.

NOW, I have Steam.exe installed and am trying to run it , but nothing shows up, no UI or GUI, it just seems to hang indefinitely?

SUCCESS !!!

UPDATE -- oh this is weird, after trying probably 4-6 times, I tried running it again and THIS time it opened up a UI! I was able to log in and am attempting to download and install. And the first game I tried fired up flawlessly. A miracle.

Thank you so much domschl for your help and the guide.

Would be wise to put a note is there that if Steam ends with "Nothing to do" to just keep trying?

SOLVED by attempting to open Steam.exe at least five times
