wine wow FPS patch

[Tweak42]

I'm currently using the patched wine+pulse 1.3.22 from the PPA and it's pretty stable for me. Before I was using 1.3.19 with rGL patch complied from source and it ran slightly less stable.

I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but I create a clean wine prefix each wine version then attach my wow directory to it.

**This is for users who are interested compiling wine with the rGL patch and want instructions all in one place.**

Assumed prerequisites:

• Ubuntu Wine Team PPA enabled
• http://www.aewi.info/rgl/rgl.patch.gz extracted to home directory
• Wine build dependencies:

sudo apt-get build-dep wine1.3

Terminal commands:
Download the wine source:

apt-get source wine1.3

Change into the newly created directory.

cd wine1.3-<wine version>

Apply rGL patch; any patching errors should show up here.

patch -p1 < ../rgl.patch

Create the make file; any dependency errors should show up here.

./configure

Compile the code; this takes the longest time.

make

If everything completes ok, you can run the newly created binary by:

./wine <path to your wow.exe>

For wine newbies, this is a separate version of wine created in your home directory, so to remove it just delete the wine files and the wine directory in your home directory.

Compiled for wine1.3-rc5, Nvidia 290.10 drivers; Ubuntu 10.10, 11.10
Stable enough for LFG raiding, but I have experienced minor graphical glitching.
