Howto Install latest wine with patched source and manage wine prefixes
|
|
Well, although there are repositories with the latest development verison of wine 1.1.33 at the date of writing, many of the latest games require some patches to the source. So, this is what this tutorial is about! Unlike other howtos ive seen elsewhere, I download and keep the sources up to date using git, and install wine with checkinstall.

1. Installing Wine
So lets begin by removing wine (only if you have installed it already through the package manager):
sudo apt-get remove wine
If you had previously added the winehq repository, delete it:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
Then, we install git:
sudo apt-get install git-core
And download wine sources from the git repository (this should take a while):
git clone git://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git ~/wine-git
This will download the sources at a folder called wine-git inside your home folder. You should keep this folder after the installation so it is easier (and less time consuming) to update and apply your patches later.
Next, we install the necessary packages to build wine:
sudo apt-get build-dep wine
sudo apt-get install fakeroot
