Hey guys, I'm pretty new to this stuff, like wine and linux, I'm actually running Ubuntu 10.04 on my machine and I'm wondering, since I love the game League of legends, if there is a possibility to patch an existing installation of wine. I found this link: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=19141 where it says, that I have to patch 2 files and then compile wine. Well... I don't really know much about it. What do I have to do to make it patch my existing wine installation or do I really have to uninstall wine, install all the necessary packages and then compile wine?
You can't patch your existing wine installation - wine recompilation is required for that. So if you want to apply some patches you must download wine source, unpack it, copy .patch files to the source dir, apply them with patch -p1 <patchname.patch, and compile wine. although this sounds complicated, it is not - assuming you got all the requirements for wine compilation - i think that on Ubuntu you can get them the same way like on Debian - that is: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get build-dep wine
Thanks, yeah it sounds complicated, but I will give it a try, thanks for the reply :)
What does that command do? Code: sudo apt-get build-dep wine Does it download & install all required packages to make the compilation of wine possible?

Well... I don't really know much about it.

Patch files contain changes for the source, not the binary.

Thanks, it worked perfectly. But I'm having a new question. I've successfully installed wine via source and I can run wine software by running ./wine program.exe in the source folder, but I cannot rune wine program.exe outside the folder, how can I fix that?
