This guide was written for Breezy, using Wine 0.9.12. The process for building Wine from source is as follows: == Enable the Sourceforge source repository == If not already done, enable the Sourceforge repo. Using synaptic, add the following custom repo '''deb http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt source''' (see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto for more details) == Install the Wine build dependencies == The purpose of this step is to install any dependencies necessary to the build process. sudo apt-get build-dep wine == Download the Wine source == Create the directory you're going to install Wine into mkdir wine-0.9.12 cd wine-0.9.12 apt-get source wine == Apply patches, if necessary == Sometimes the reason you're building from source is because you need to patch the stock release. patch -p0 < wine-patch#1.patch patch -p0 < wine-patch#2.patch etc. == Build Wine == apt-get build-package -hfakeroot -cu -b The build will take a LONG time, even with a fast machine, around an hour or so on a 2Gig CPU with 1Gig of Ram, so take a break. == Install the new Wine deb == The build process, once it's complete, will create a .deb in the parent directory. This is your new Wine package. First remove the old Wine package dpkg --purge wine cd .. sudo dpkg -i wine_0.9.12~winehq1-1_i386.deb |
Reasons why one needs to build from source rather than relying on repos:
1 - One needs a more up to date version of Wine 2 - One needs to apply a patch to the stock Wine release
This guide was written for Breezy, using Wine 0.9.12.
The process for building Wine from source is as follows:
Enable the Sourceforge source repository
If not already done, enable the Sourceforge repo. Using synaptic, add the following custom repo
deb http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt source
(see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto for more details)
Install the Wine build dependencies
The purpose of this step is to install any dependencies necessary to the build process.
sudo apt-get build-dep wine
Download the Wine source
Create the directory you're going to install Wine into
mkdir wine-0.9.12
cd wine-0.9.12
apt-get source wine
Apply patches, if necessary
Sometimes the reason you're building from source is because you need to patch the stock release.
patch -p0 < wine-patch#1.patch
patch -p0 < wine-patch#2.patch
etc.
Build Wine
apt-get build-package -hfakeroot -cu -b
The build will take a LONG time, even with a fast machine, around an hour or so on a 2Gig CPU with 1Gig of Ram, so take a break.
Install the new Wine deb
The build process, once it's complete, will create a .deb in the parent directory. This is your new Wine package.
First remove the old Wine package
dpkg --purge wine
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i wine_0.9.12~winehq1-1_i386.deb
