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?sCla ... &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. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-5d2fd50 ... 59e67c465f

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: Select all

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