How to: Patch Wine from 1.1.2 to 1.1.3 and...

[DSpider]

Hello.

I was wondering if you could please tell me how to patch Wine to 1.1.3 (currently the latest version), and how exactly do I "trick" this app into thinking that I'm running WinXP.



Thank you.

Hello.

You have to have Wine source to patch it. Then you use program "patch". Then recompile Wine.

how exactly do I "trick" this app into thinking that I'm running WinXP.

Run winecfg and set windows version to WinXP.

Well, I wasn't able to do that... It's set as Windows XP by default. Windows 2003 compatibility didn't work either. Hmmm...

To upgrade to a new release by using a patch file, first cd to the
top-level directory of the release (the one containing this README
file). Then do a "make clean", and patch the release with:

bunzip2 -c patch-file | patch -p1

where "patch-file" is the name of the patch file (something like
wine-1.0.x.diff.bz2). You can then re-run "./configure", and then
run "make depend && make".

So is there a "wine-1.1.3.diff.bz2" somewhere on sourceforge ?

However, there IS a .sign file.

I'm guessing it's some kind of TTH root. SHA1 ? eDonky link ?? What is it ?

More importantly, how exactly do I patch Wine to 1.1.3 and how do I fool this application into thinking I'm running Windows XP (or 2003) ?

Just download the latest tarball, there is no diff. If you want small updates then use git.

Like it says, it's a PGP signature.

If your app doesn't detect windows xp then file a bug report if one hasn't been filed already.
