How do I use that.
Should I copy and paste that somewhere.

Then it says do the following:

# cd
# patch -p1 < diff-file
# ./configure
# make depend && make
# su -c "make install"

if I do "patch -p1 < diff-file" I get "diff-file doesn't exist"
then "./configure" same thing



Please help

You need to be compiling wine yourself to be using that patch.
Get the latest wine source code from cvs or git, and open a terminal in the directory to which you downloaded it.
Then the patch... ./configure make and so on should work.
Or maybe not.

As jacksaff wrote, you would need to compile the program yourself in order to use the patch (versus installing finished binary like you generally do through Synaptic or apt-get). If you were to compile it yourself you would need to download the source package, extract it somewhere, then create a blank file inside the directory you extracted. Call it whatever you want (I'll call it "foo" for the sake of example). Then copy and paste the contents of the file you displayed into it and save. (Alternatively you could use wget to download the file to the directory). From the source code directoy apply the patch with

patch -p1 < foo

Then compile as usual (probably ./configure;make;make install).

I get the following error when I do ./configure

Let me understand I only need ti do one of these or all

# ./configure
# make depend && make
# su -c "make install"

# su -c "make install"

All of those, in that order.

[finito]

yes but how do i solve the error

[finito]

Ok I figuered it out it has somthing to do with my machine being 64-bit, any way this helped..
http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit#h...158321229216de

[finito]

OK, I finally got it done.

I got to this part

# su -c "make install"
and it asked for a password and wouldn;t accept the usuall password so I did # sudo make install

It seems to have completed without errors, but I still get the same error.

Do I have to do something to use the new wine or I overwrote the old wine?

Please Advise

Have you copied over the .dll files from a Windowes install (or the net if you can find them) and done the other parts of the instructions as well?

[finito]

I am sorry I wasn't Clear,
The problem is that I get the same error from COD4, not wine,
