wine users - Sep 2011 - USB support

Hi,

I have been following the procedures outlined here: http://wiki.winehq.org/USB

and am completely lost from steps 2-4. I don't quite understand what exactly
I am to do at these steps. Could anyone provide further explanation/direction? I
apologize that I am totally new to this.

Thanks

To patch Wine you have to build it from source, so you also have to download the
source code. Once you have, cd to the source directory and apply the patches
using the commands in step 2. Step 3 only applies to very old versions of Wine,
so skip that. Then build wine as you would normally.
