wine users - Feb 2009 - Disabling S3TC support for Wine 1.1.14 How do I patch?

I may be an absolute noob for asking this, but I've been at this for about 3
hours now.

So I've been trying to disable S3TC support so I can play this game without
getting scrambled graphics.  My search lead me to the code for a patch listed
here http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=19211 My question is, what do I do
with all that code? how do I get it into my current version? Do I need to
download the source for 1.1.14 and if so, where do I put said code and to what
directory should I compile it all (running Ubuntu 8.10)?

Or better, use the same commenting style as the rest of the Wine code:

/* {"GL_EXT_texture_compression_s3tc",    
EXT_TEXTURE_COMPRESSION_S3TC,   0
   Removed to prevent S3TC errors 
*/

this is all quite helpful only I can't find my source code.  Do I need to
download it from elsewhere?

Again...I may be a raging noob here, but I went to the git website as well as
the link listed in the wiki and I'm unsure as to which of those files I
should download...I got all the files listed as 1.6.2 put em all in a
folder...now they do nothing.

and into what program do I type this "yum install git"?

Terminal. (Konsole/xconsole).

well, I typed in yum install git which brought up an error saying more or less
to try "sudo apt-get yum" so i did.  This installed this
"yum"  program I guess...then I tried "yum install git"
...which did nothing...

you need to edit the code in wine (http://www.mrwino.co.uk) , might not be easy
but its doable

Ubuntu 8.1

Oh, sorry, thought I saw OpenSuse somewhere.

Just use:
http://winezeug.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/install-wine-deps.sh

$ wget http://winezeug.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/install-wine-deps.sh
$ sudo sh install-wine-deps.sh

ok...did that.  And started entering the patching code which just made my
terminal unresponsive.  So I closed it and now when I try again I get the
following error.

jessy at Semra:~$ git clone
git://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git
>fatal: destination directory 'wine' already exists.<

Austin sir...you rock my socks.  The source code is patched but I'm still
having a little trouble compiling it.  I entered in (after patching the code of
course):

 ./configure --verbose

which returned 

bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

I then tried:  /configure && make depend & make 

which returned 

bash: line 10: /configure: No such file or directory
[1] 15955
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
[1]+  Exit 127                /configure && make depend

clearly something is amiss

not sure how to do commands "from" a directory in the terminal.  I
typed in

 /home/jessy/wine-git .configure --verbose

and got

bash: /home/jessy/wine-git: is a directory

I got the same response from ~/wine-git $ ls

It is done! The world is saved at last! Thank you so much for putting up with my
obnoxious noobery...noobdome...noobhood? Anyhow, got it working now and thank
you much for your help.
