Fbconfig patch - how to install?

[fruh...@gmail.com]

I was having the same problem as this guy:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6215

Basically when starting winecfg it says "rr:wgl:has_opengl glx_version
as 1.3 and GLX_SGIX_fbconfig extension is unsupported. Expect
problems." Those problems become very regular and predictable: I get a
runtime error 380 everytime I try to run a particular chat client.

This web site is the fix. It provides a piece of code that is supposed
to replace some other code in some other file. I'm too noob to
understand where/how to put this patch in. I have the code saved on my
desktop but have no idea what to do next. I've never replaced code
before.

Can anyone help?

But you have compiled wine from source before, right? Applying the patch
is just a matter of feeding it to patch (1) in the right way. Read the
man page for details, but you'll propably only need to use the -p
option.

Download the patch and copy it to the folder with the wine source code
(Important ! Where you copy the patch is important it should be in the
same directory
as the extracted wine)

open a terminal open the directory (where ou have extract the wine )
and give this command

patch -p1 < x11drv_fbconfig_fix-0001.bin

dlls/... is print on terminal write it to patch the opengl.c file

to compile the wine download all requirements libs and give to terninal

The next command requires root privileges. Although you should never
run Wine as root, you will need to install it this way.

> su
then enter the root password

# make install

Exit superuser or root, then type ..
(for ubuntu sudo make install)
