Hello everyone,
I'm in experimental mode right now. I'm making changes to wine code to see what I can do, but when I run Wine I don't see an effect on Wine, even though the compiles are successful. I'm running from the wine 64-bit build directory, which I thought would hook into the DLLs, etc. in that build tree. Instead, it appears to be using the installed version of Wine on my system (Ubuntu, 16.04). According to the Codeweavers article I link to below, the build directory is supposed to use the newly built code when you run wine or winedbg from it. How do I get it to use my newly built code?

Thanks for any feedback on this!

Hi John,
You are using ./wine to launch it from its directory instead of just 'wine', right? The latter only looks into the PATH env var, not the current directory (unlike Windows).
You can also type the full path to the built wine to launch it, no need to change directory to the build dir.
If you have to run a tool from wine (like winecfg) just type '/path/to/built/wine winecfg'.
Don't forget to set the WINEPREFIX accordingly else it will mess up with your default prefix!
