| 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. WARNING: The authors of this howto give no guarantees. This is totally YMMV. The process for building Wine from source is as follows: == Enable the Sourceforge source repository == Enable the Sourceforge source 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 (wine-0.9.12), and download the source into it. You'll need at least 1.4Gig of free disk to install and build successfully. Last, cd to the directory containing the source code (wine-0.9.12~winehq1), as that's where we'll be working from. {{{ mkdir wine-0.9.12 cd wine-0.9.12 apt-get source wine cd wine-0.9.12~winehq1 }}} == Apply patches, if necessary == Sometimes the reason you're building from source is because you need to patch the stock release. (eg to apply the WoW patch) {{{ patch -p1 < wine-patch#1.patch patch -p1 < wine-patch#2.patch etc. }}} eg. Applying the WoW patch Wine needs to be patched for WoW to work properly. Download 0.9.12 patch from http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=4031 and apply the patch to the Wine code. {{{ patch -p1 < wow.patch.preloader.and.mmap.0.9.12 }}} == Build Wine == {{{ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -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 }}} == Clean up == Once you're satisfied that Wine is working properly, you can now clean up the files used for building Wine, as this frees up quite a bit of disk. Of course, deleting make's working files will mean that if you need to rebuild, make will have to start right from the beginning. {{{ cd wine-0.9.12/wine-0.9.12~winehq1 make distclean }}} |
