wine users - Aug 2008 - Do I have to recompile wine to apply a different patch??

I just installed and set up COD4 and compiled wine 1.2.2 from git as per
instructions on the AppDB page, applying a patch to wine.

Now I installed C&C3
(http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=7440) and have
it working, but there is a nocursor patch on that page and instructions to
compile wine and apply it.

I am wondering, I have a wine-git folder as I just compiled it-- do I have to
remove installed wine and apply patch to wine-git, recompile wine or is there a
way to apply the patch to my existing wine? I don't wanna mess it up hehe,
thanks!! :)

If you build wine in your wine-git folder, you can then use that compiled
version by specifying it on the commandline such as:

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/CC3
~/wine-git/wine cc3.exe

Thanks a lot guys! It works perfectly :) :D
