how to compile wine 1.16 with acceptEx patch?

**Yeeha** · March 2nd, 2009

As i see infamous acceptEx bug still is problem for playing warcraft3 and other good old games. Apparently theres patch for it http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9787 but how to use it? Any help appreciated.

im not very experienced, but, from what i can tell the alterd source file needs to be placed into the source of 1.16 and then compiled for your use.

I dont know how to compile wine but ill gather some links:

Wine bug tracking link for AcceptEX http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9787

From this link there is some information about wine 1.18 not compiling with AcceptEX

Compiling wine from source code http://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-g...ng-wine-source

Compiling wine from source code with patches http://www.wine-reviews.net/benchmar...ark-patch.html

If anyone else can shed some more light on this i would also like to use this patch. The only reason i keep going back to windows is because i cant chat in Warcraft III. Yes i know, this is a very sad reason to do that to myself, but its the only game i play anymore.

Good luck, letme know if you have a win

For compiling wine 1.1.24 on ubuntu jaunty.

Steps I have taken to compile wine with the patch are as follows (although all steps may not be needed):

DEPENDENCIES:

Make sure you remove any existing wine installations or configurations.

I donk know id it matters but if you have had a previous installation of wine the configuration directory is in you home directory. Delete (after backup?) all the contents of ".wine"

Code:

sudo apt-get install build-essentials
sudo apt-get install flex
sudo apt-get install bison
sudo apt-get build-dep wine

Copy information for patch from the following link http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=8368 into a file named "acceptex.patch".

Download the latest (another if you like but I'm doing latest) from http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...ckage_id=77449.

Extract the wine source code into its own directory EG. "wine-1.1.24-source"

Copy the patch file created earlier into the folder the wine source was extracted.

Code:

cd ./wine-1.1.24-source

Code:

patch -p1 < acceptex.patch

COMPILING:

Code:

./configure

Output ening in "configure: Finished. Do 'make depend && make' to compile Wine." means this has completed successfully.

At this point it is time to make a cup of coffie / pot of soup / walk the dog. You may have enough time to do all of these things ZZzZzzzZzzzz....

Code:

make depend && make

INSTALL:

The install command must be run with sudo as the installer needs permissions to modify copy etcc to /usr ++ more

Code:

sudo make install

IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Total time: About 50 mins.
Result: PRICELESS!!!

After some testing i am getting some random crashes when in game, reverting to source code from stable release wine v1.0.1.

I let you know how it goes

do you know if you need to uninstall any older version , or you can just install on top of it?

**snakt** · June 27th, 2009

Yes you need to remove it, I have found a much better and stabler mehod on the wine webpage.

See the "How to get Battle.net working?" section of this webpage (see link below).

Sorry mate, I haven't run into this issue as i use a directory I have had for some time now, I just add the custom servers to the registry and I'm off.

Not that I know but it sounds like your having issues with SecurRom.

If you have an existing directory just running it from there should do wonders.

FYI: Now that I have been running the GIT from WineHQ i have had no issues from Warcraft except when loosing focus of the window you get white textures and flashing.

Other then that (without trying to alt-tab or using in wine desktop mode) i have had no issues and can see every everyone's chat just fine.
