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
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, 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, as that's where we'll be working from: wine-0.9.11/wine-0.9.12~winehq1
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
