wine users - May 2012 - General question

Hi,

is there any howto (step by step guide) - (english or german) i can use if i
want to use two (or maybe more) versions of wine.

The background is that im a old fan of the deus ex games and im following the
posts of how to play and patch Deus Ex - Human Recolution about some months now.

I know that theres a way to compile and patch a copy of wine so that i can use
it appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=13150 but i
dont want to get in trouble and destroy any of my current wine
programs/settings/paths.

The easiest way is to not install the Wine you've compiled; just run it from
the build directory. You should also install the game you're going to use it
for to a separate wineprefix.

Thanks a lot.

An easy way to do this if you use a script is to set path so that just running
the command "wine" for instance will default to run that version by
default:

Code:
PATH="/path/to/your/version/of/wine/bin:$PATH"
