wine users - Jun 2009 - applying a patch (select-dup.diff) to wine to fix TF2

I really feel like a n00b posting this, but I can't for the life of me find
how to apply this patch. 
http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=21763&action=edit
One of the Steam updates broke TF2, and according to the comments in the bug
tracker this should fix it.  I just have idea what to do with the file.  Also,
my wine setup isn't like most peoples.  I compile wine from source and run
it from the source directory so I can use multiple versions at the same time.  I
don't need specific instructions for my setup, just generic wine
instructions and whether or not I need to apply it to each source directory, or
the directory with drive_c and stuff.

verdow at RedWagon ~ $ ls -a | grep wine
.wine-1.1.16
.wine-1.1.17
.wine-1.1.21
.wine_l4d
.wine_nexuiz
.wine_oldTF2
.wine_q3
.wine_ra3
.wine_tf2
.wine_urbanterror
.wine_warsow
verdow at RedWagon ~ $ [/code]

patch -p1 < /path/to/source

though you could just upgrade to git where it's fixed...

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------

File to patch: ^C

What file do I need to patch?  Also, wine is not installed on my computer.  If I
want to run wine I must run

WNIEPREFIX=/home/verdow/.wine_program /home/verdow/.wine-1.1.16/./wine
program.exe

Certain programs run better on older versions of wine, also this is a new bug,
the steam update that broke tf2 came out only a week ago.

Code:
verdow at RedWagon ~/.wine-1.1.16 $ patch -p1 < select-dup.diff 
patching file server/thread.c
Hunk #1 succeeded at 637 (offset -15 lines).
Hunk #2 succeeded at 647 (offset -15 lines).
Hunk #3 succeeded at 693 (offset -15 lines).
verdow at RedWagon ~/.wine-1.1.16 $ 



TF2 still doesn't work.  Do I need to recompile after the patch is applied? 
I'm going to try downloading and compiling the latest release.

> though you could just upgrade to git where it's fixed... 
what is git?  Is there something besides the latest source release I should try?

I recompiled and it worked.  Thanks![/quote]
