NEW! There is now a dedicated website with detailed information about installing and running CSS HTML Validator using Wine at:
https://wine.htmlvalidator.com/how-to-i ... linux.html
We have a page that has some tips for running
CSS HTML Validator on Mac OS X or Linux (or similar non-Windows system):

Today I tried using
Wine on a MacBook running OS X Mountain Lion. Wine is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, Mac OS X, & BSD. Here is a good link that explains how to install it:

Very interesting page. Thanks.
Great to see some real world examples of some level of OS interop!

It's been over 5 years since the original post!
Here is an update from someone who is using
CSE HTML Validator Pro v15.05 (an older version but I suspect newer versions should operate similarly) under
Wine 3.0 on
Linux Mint 19.0 64-bit.
It works! However, there are some issues to note per the user:
1. The integrated browser won't start.
2. The UI fonts look terrible. Although they are readable, they look small, thin and low resolution.
3. There was no sound. That may be a more general Wine issue with lack of PCM sound files being installed at first. I solved this by copying a load of Windows sound files onto my Linux home partition.
4. Interaction between main and batch windows is sometimes peculiar. Not a very technical description, I know, but hard to explain and reproduce. For example, sometimes you click a panel icon to restore a window and nothing happens, or the wrong window gets restored (e.g. main one instead of batch wizard one).
So, while not an optimal experience, you can use
CSS HTML Validator on
Linux with
Wine.
I suspect this would also extend to using it on a
Mac with
Wine. More information about running it on Macs is here:
