[HowTo] Compile wine from git on Ubuntu and apply a custom patch
In this video you'll see how to manually compile wine from git and apply a patch.
As an exemple, here we will apply a patch to get Blizzard's Battle.net client working and play Hearthstone Heroes of Warcraft under Ubuntu.
In fact, there's a bug with current wine version (as of 1.7.10 today), see bug http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?i... for refference.
As you can see, a patch is available, but you'll need to manually apply it and compile wine from source.
I / Initial Steps:
Open up a 'terminal'and add wine's ubuntu repository:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
Then open up 'System Settings' and 'Software and Updates'. In the 'Other Software' tab make sure the 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/... sauc main (Source Code)' is checked.
Finally update package database:
sudo apt-get update
II / Installing dependencies:
First install this :
sudo apt-get -y install git g++ gcc-multilib g++-multilib libc6-dev-i386 lib32z1-dev lib32bz2-dev xserver-xorg-dev:i386 libfreetype6-dev:i386 libmirclient-dev:i386 libosmesa6:i386 libosmesa-dev libjpeg-turbo8-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-dev:i386 libglu1-mesa-dev:i386 libxcursor-dev:i386 libxi-dev:i386 libxrandr-dev:i386 libxinerama-dev:i386 libxcomposite-dev:i386 libdbus-1-dev:i386 libgnutls-dev:i386 libncurses5-dev:i386 libsane-dev:i386 libv4l-dev:i386 libgphoto2-6-dev:i386 liblcms2-dev:i386 liblcms1-dev:i386 gstreamer0.10-plugins-base:i386 libcapi20-dev:i386 libcups2-dev:i386 libfontconfig1-dev:i386 libgsm1-dev:i386 libtiff5-dev:i386 libmpg123-dev:i386 libopenal-dev:i386 libxrender-dev:i386 libxml2-dev:i386 libxslt1-dev:i386 libpng12-dev:i386 libssl-dev:i386 libldap2-dev:i386 unixodbc-dev:i386
Next:
sudo apt-get -y build-dep wine1.7
There's also 2 symlink to add:
cd /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
sudo ln -s libfreetype.so.6 libfreetype.so
sudo ln -s libOSMesa.so.6 libOSMesa.so
III / Downloading Sources:
git clone git://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git ~/wine-git
cd ~/wine-git
IV / Applying a Patch:
As a matter of exemple, here we will build a specific version of wine (not the latest git):
git checkout wine-1.7.7
Next we will download and apply a patch:
wget http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi... -O HCCEpatch.diff
cat HCCEpatch.diff | patch -p1
V / Compilation:
./configure
make
VI / Using your newly built wine
Usually to launch a windows application with wine you would enter:
wine somefile.exe
But here, to use your own manually compiled wine, you will need to specify the exact path of your wine binary:
~/wine-git/wine
(the folder were we downloaded and compiled the source code)
So, to launch the installation process:
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/#user_profile#/.winehearthstone ~/wine-git/wine #path_to_installer#/Battle.net-Beta-Setup-frFR.exe
VII / Editing desktop launch icon:
We'll create a new file to launch our application with the correct (our manually compiled) version of wine:
create a new file called LaunchBattlenet in your /home/#userprofile#/.winehearthstone folder containing the following command (in one line):
WINEPREFIX=/home/#userprofile#/.winehearthstone /home/#userprofile#/wine-git/wine /home/#userprofile#/.winehearthstone/drive_c/Program\ Files/Battle.net/Battle.net.exe
Make it executable:
chmod +x /home/#userprofile#/.winehearthstone/LaunchBattlenet
Now you can launch battlenet from a terminal by launching your startup script:
/home/#userprofile#/.winehearthstone/LaunchBattlenet
An easy way to launch it would be to either do a symling of it on your desktop, or edit a desktop icon to launch it.
