Detailled info needed on patching wine

[Alexpants]

I'm still having problems with my spore install, after a length call to EA and a lot of googling I've found this patch:
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2008-September/061125.html
Which has helped fix the issue for a lot of people.
The only thing is I don't know how to apply this patch, I've searched the forums a bit but I don't know if I've used the wrong search terms but I can'nae find anything.
How do I apply this?
Thank you!

Which version of Wine are you using? I assume that the latest versions of Wine has this patch already.

I'm using 1.1.10, sorry I should have stated that in the original post!
Dang, I was hoping applying that would fix the issue but I guess I'm back to the drawing board :(

First of all you need to install git-core which supplies git-diff, which can do diff --git :

$ dpkg -S $(which git-diff)
git-core: /usr/bin/git-diff

Then i assume you use git to fetch the wine-source, and then cd into the downloaded wine source code, and run the linked patch with sh.
Makes sense ?

Thank you :)
