mygrandmawheels,Welcome to Wings3D forum.
I feel the same inconvenience, recently It can't running on Wine on Mac too.
The internal of ManifoldLab is unknown,because it's closed source.
But ManifoldLab uses an external library called Carve-CSG https://code.google.com/archive/p/carve/.
The library and Wings3D exchange data in some method.
If boolean function is realized posibility,There are two ways.
Implement boolean operation by Erlang or Cooperate with other external boolean libraries.
In order to support all Win/Mac/Linux with the latter way, it is necessary to compile this external library for each OS.
