Well, it's got on a bit now, so I don't know if I should start a new thread. Anyway, I applied the patch but still seems to be running into problems. This is what I've done: After downloading version 1.1.0 from sourceforge I saved the following as "winepatch.diff": Code: --- loader/preloader.c | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/loader/preloader.c b/loader/preloader.c index 83a5172..2dc2872 100644 --- a/loader/preloader.c +++ b/loader/preloader.c @@ -519,7 +519,7 @@ static void set_auxiliary_values( ElfW(auxv_t) *av, const ElfW(auxv_t) *new_av, } else if (new_count < delete_count) /* get rid of unused values */ { - int len = (char *)(av + av_count + 1) - dst; + int len = (char *)(av + av_count + 1) - src; for (i = len - 1; i >= 0; i--) dst[i] = src[i]; } *stack = dst; --- in wine source directory I typed: Code: $ patch -p1 < winepatch.diff and this seemed to patch the code okay. I built wine in the usual way: Code: ./configure --prefix "/home/mythtv/.oldwine" && make depend && make && make install however this generated the following error during build.
