Hi Maxime,
Thanks for your work. I have been playing RL via playonlinux on SteamOS 'Brewmaster'. I cloned wine 1.9.2 with git and made the edits, however when I './configure' I get an error stating that gcc fails the '-V >&5' test. Realizing my version of ggc doesn't like the -V command, I tried removing that line, but it then complains about missing files.
Apparently gcc does need to be greater than version 5 and I think mine is 4.8 or 4.9. I tried upgrading but that caused too many broken dependencies, so I seem to be stuck.
I'm wondering if you think it would work for me to use your compiled patched version?
Hello, I never tried SteamOS, but as it is Debian based, maybe there is a way to build a patched .deb package.
I am using ArchLinux, and I build the patch wine using a modified PKGBUILD file, which is producing a tar.xz package. The only thing you could do with that is extract it to /, messing up your system. And wine will probably fail because of dependency discrepancies between your system and mine. So in your case, I would go for the official procedure to build a .deb from source, by applying the patch in the procedure.
