How do I install this patch for wine?

**silverhaze06** · December 18th, 2012

So I'm running the Netflix desktop app for ubuntu, and am effected by the choppy video bug. There is a patch to try and fix it here but I have no idea how to install it. Any help would be great!

I could not see which application this patch is designed for? But in general a patch can be applied to source code and then the source code needs to be compiled and then the application packaged.

It's unclear whether the author of the patch wished it against wine-1.4/1.5 or wine-compholio-1.5.x. It would likely apply against any though
I'd guess the latter.

Easily done as in screen - make build folder, cd to it, apt-get the source.
Dl & place patch ( currently named tmp.diff) in build folder. cd to source & run

Code:

patch -Np1 -i ../tmp.diff

Ex.

:~/Desktop/wine/wine-compholio-1.5.19~raring$ patch -Np1 -i ../tmp.diff
patching file dlls/ntdll/time.c
patching file dlls/ws2_32/socket.c
Hunk #1 succeeded at 5891 (offset 8 lines).

Don't have or want to install wine or have netflix so that's all I can say.

Ok, i got the file in a folder called wine on my desktop. I copied the wine build into that folder from /opt/wine-compholio
but after that I'm completely lost. What do I need to type in exactly to get this working? I have no idea when it comes to all this code.

No, you'd need to get the intended?? wine source, patch, compile & install. (or possibly just replace 2 newly compiled .dll's

I'd think if this 'fix' is good then it'll show up in your compholio ppa shortly so you may wish to wait..

True, marking this as solved.
