--- Comment #2 from Marc C marc@marcchamberlin.com 2012-06-30 23:20:19 CDT --- Austin - Thanks for supplying a patch, but unfortunately I think I am getting in over my head in trying to figure out how to apply it and install a new version of Wine on my systems. Worse yet, I am running an x64 bit system and that appears to be adding some additional complexity in building Wine.
I got as far as creating a clone of the git repository for Wine, but when I tried to setup my system to build Wine, I started running into troubles. I tried to find and install the packages for openSuSE11.x (even though I am running openSuSE12.0 See http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit#head-a3ff796906fa5d99b35aaf0e858760bf98f4... and had to make a guess on many of them as I could not find an exact match in the package names. Which led to some dependency conflicts that I am not completely sure I resolved correctly either.) Also the script to install the recommended packages (see http://wiki.winehq.org/Recommended_Packages) is not set up for openSuSE12.0 and it aborted when I tried to run it)
So I think I am beginning to spend more time than I had intended and I am not sure what I am doing anywise. (I have never used git or done a build of Wine so this is all new to me.) Is there a better approach to trying out and testing this patch?
