? Make in no doubt you have the recommended packages installed. ? Get Wine using Git, or download the latest tarball and unpack it. ? If you wish for to be relevant a patch, do it with a command like patch -p1 < foo.patch in the Wine source directory. You may have to research before you get this right. See the manual for patch for details. ? Run configure and make to compile Wine, and sudo make install to set up it. (Note that "make install" is not obligatory; Wine can be run from the build directory.) ------------------------- hp laptop coupon (http://www.dealsbell.com)

To patch Wine, you have to build it yourself: download the source code either from git or in a tarball, apply the patch, then build it. The section of the FAQ that I referred you to has links to pages detailing all of these steps. You are going to have to read all of them and follow the directions.
