[SOLVED] Patch Wine?

[bokl]

Man, I REALLY want to get Snood (v 3.52) working on Ubuntu 8.10

I have done these steps:
1. added the wine repositories
(instruction: http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb )
2. saved the patch text above to snoodpatch.patch and placed it in my home directory

Now I need to do steps 3 - 5:
3. create custom wine including patch
4. remove already installed wine
5. install custom wine from created .deb

I'm hesitant about trying the exact code for step 3 given above, since it seems suited for an older version of ubuntu.

Can someone please give me an updated guide for steps 3-5 that works on 8.10. As basic as possible please! For example, I'm unsure on how to install from a .deb file.

You're going to have to reinstall wine from source. Make sure that you've added the winehq repo:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get build-dep wine
sudo apt-get install fakeroot
mkdir wine1.5
cd wine1.5
apt-get source wine1.5
cd wine*
patch -p0 < /home/YOURNAME/yourpatch.patch 
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b

This will create your new wine deb. Then completely remove your old wine:

sudo dpkg --purge wine1.5

Now you can install your patched version of wine.

Wow. Thank you for this great advice and information.
I am trying to patch Wine for World of Tanks.

Thanks again.
