Hi to all, I'm quite a newbie with Wine. I have installed the latest Wine 1.1.44 on my PCLinuxOS KDE 2010 box and I would like to install the following patch: [/url]http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=28205&action=edit[url] However, I did not understand what I should do. First of all, what is meant with "Wine source folder"? Is that the hidden ./wine folder in my Home directory? Second question: how can I download that patch? Should I copy its text and paste it into a new text file in my Home? Thank you very much in advance for your help. :D [/url]

To apply the patch, you have to download the source code first, to use the "patch" command to incorporate it, and, the most important part, to recompile wine from these patched source codes. To succeed, you have to download various development tools and packages first. So, it's just a trivial task for a newbie. But, if you will try and possibly succeed, it's very good feeling to run the code which you've compiled personally :-). With regards, Pavel.

You probably want to start here: http://wiki.winehq.org/Recommended_Packages (I can't find a wiki page with instructions on how to patch Wine... It basically involve cd /home/user/wine-sourc-code-directory/; patch -p1 < /path/to/patch.diff and then compiling it...) You should be able to save the patch by using File > save page as from Firefox... Gert
