What should I do with this patch?

IWK · Post by **IWK** » Mon Dec 29, 2008 3:23 pm

Hi.

I'm trying to run Spore, and I noticed that this patch is supposed to solve the problem where the server can't be found:

http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-pa ... 61125.html

Pardon my ignorance, but how do I use it? I have searched for information about this, but to no avail.
Also, which version of GIT should I use? Found a lot of different packages here:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/debian/
(I use Debian Lenny)

Thanks in advance,

Ike

Thanks. I wonder why I missed that, as I am positive I searched the entire WineHQ site...

Anyway, that helped me a bit on my way, but I still can't figure out what I'm supposed to do. Since the patch in question wasn't distributed as a file, but as text in a mail, should I create a file, copy the text to that file, and run

Code: Select all

patch -p1 < (name of file)

?

What now?

It's already patched, apparently.

Yeah. I haven't checked if it works, but I will when I get home. I just got a tad suspicious, 'cause I don't know why it's patched. Oh well, I don't have to know. Just hope it works.

Still doesn't work. I tried patching, and this is what I got:

Code: Select all

patching file dlls/winhttp/net.c
Hunk #1 FAILED at 464.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file dlls/winhttp/net.c.rej
patching file dlls/winhttp/request.c
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!  Assume -R? [n] 
Apply anyway? [n] y
Hunk #1 FAILED at 1415.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file dlls/winhttp/request.c.rej

If I choose to "Assume -R", I get this instead of "...FAILED at 1415":

Code: Select all

Hunk #1 succeeded at 1415 (offset 177 lines).

But no matter what, I still get the same old error if I launch the game. Any ideas?

That patch IS ALREADY APPLIED. It won't do any good to apply it again.
'-R' reverts (reverses) it.

Maybe try native wininet/winhttp?

I've tried that now; didn't work. The problem persists. This is the terminal output I get:

Lots of messages like this one:

and then
