Howto patching Gerald Folcher's Hack to wine

Back to main menu

To be able to play racing games on wine and have force feedback on the steering wheel, we will use a modified version of wine

To do so we will apply a patch for the source code of wine.

First of all, we need to have installed the following packages

[elena@localhost ~]$ urpmi gcc patch  git-core

In addition, we need the source code of wine, the same version that was made for this patch.

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6241&package_id=77449&release_id=528060

Unzip the wine0.9.42 in any folder, in my example /home/user/Downloads

Now we need to download the patch

Gerald Folcher patch

Copy the patch on the folder

/home/user/Downloads/wine-0.9.42/dlls

Write the command on Konsole

[paula@localhost dlls]$ patch -p2 < wine_0.9.42-GPLegends_and_LFS_FF-crude_hack.diff
patching file dinput/device.c
patching file dinput/effect_linuxinput.c

So to compile Wine smoothly we will need these packages:

# libalsa2-devel
# libmesagl1
# libmesagl1-devel
# mesa-common-devel 
# mesa-source 
# bison
# flex
# alsa-lib-devel
# cups-devel
# dbus-devel
# esound-devel
# fontconfig-devel
# freetype-devel
# libgphoto-devel
# hal-devel
# isdn4k-utils-devel
# lcms-devel
# libICE-devel
# libjpeg-devel
# libpng-devel
# libsane1-devel
# libusb-devel
# libxrandr2-devel
# libxcomposite1-devel
# libxinerama1-devel
# libXcursor-devel
# libXi-devel
# libxslt-devel
# libXxf86vm-devel
# ncurses-devel
# openldap-devel
# openssl-devel
# pkgconfig
# libldap2.3_0-devel
# libxorg-x11-devel  

Open Konsole, move onto the folder where this Mod Wine is decompressed, in my case:

[paula@localhost ~]$ cd /home/user/Downloads/wine-0.9.42

And type configure to check requirements

[paula@localhost ~]$ sh configure --prefix=/home/user/Downloads/winemod

Then, if everything has gone fine, write to compile..

[paula@localhost ~]$ make depend && make

And finally, this, to install it.

[paula@localhost ~]$ make install

Now to configure this Wine we will have to run:

[paula@localhost ~]$ /home/user/Downloads/winemod/bin/winecfg

And to run a game on it we should write:

[paula@localhost ~]$ /home/user/Downloads/winemod/bin/wine namegame
