--- Comment #261 from Marco Di Fresco marco.difresco@gmail.com 2013-07-23 14:12:16 CDT --- Tried directly with 1.5.18 and I correctly applied the patch and compiled. Tor now correctly launch.
I kept the modified 1.5.18 on its own source folder so I can use it for Tor and on the same time still have the latest wine system-wide automatically managed by the package manager for any other program; ergo the best of both worlds.
Thanks Alex for your support.
The curiosity still remain on why the patch isn't already integrated on Wine; anyone knows?
