Do I have to recompile wine to apply a different patch??

I just installed and set up COD4 and compiled wine 1.2.2 from git as per instructions on the AppDB page, applying a patch to wine.

Now I installed C&C3 (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... n&iId=7440) and have it working, but there is a nocursor patch on that page and instructions to compile wine and apply it.

I am wondering, I have a wine-git folder as I just compiled it-- do I have to remove installed wine and apply patch to wine-git, recompile wine or is there a way to apply the patch to my existing wine? I don't wanna mess it up hehe, thanks!!

If you build wine in your wine-git folder, you can then use that compiled version by specifying it on the commandline such as:

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/CC3
~/wine-git/wine cc3.exe

Okay, so I would leave the existing wine install alone, and just rebuild wine-git with the patch I need and run CNC3 as you indicated?

I'm quite new to the compiling process so for my sake, "make depend && make" is what actually makes wine, and sudo make install just installs it into the system with links and such? So I can just do the make depend && make part right?

Thanks!
