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

If not already done, enable the Sourceforge 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

{{{mkdir wine-0.9.12

cd wine-0.9.12

apt-get source wine}}}

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 -p0 < wine-patch#1.patch

patch -p0 < wine-patch#2.patch

etc.}}}

Build Wine

apt-get build-package -hfakeroot -cu -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}}}
