Wine - Compholio Edition

Overview

The Wine Compholio Edition (previously the "Kane Edition") is a special build of the popular Wine software with patches to make Windows applications that I frequently use work out of the box.

Currently included patches:

• Netflix on Firefox fails with Internet Connection Problem when loading bar is at 99% (Bug 31858).
• Many Silverlight websites loop forever querying the interface list (Bug 32328).

These patches are for the following applications:

• Microsoft Silverlight

Accepted patches (archive):

• Support for SetTimer and SetSystemTimer timeout limits [1/1] (Bug 32489).
• Support for UDP broadcast packets on an interface-bound socket [1/2] [2/2] (Bug 7929).
• Support for WSARecvMsg and IP_PKTINFO [1/4] [2/4] [3/4] [4/4] (Bug 19493).
• Support for sequence-based animated cursors [1/6] [2/6] [3/6] [4/6] [5/6] [6/6] .
• Support for animated cursor inter-frame delay [1/7] [2/7] [3/7] [4/7] [5/7] [6/7] [7/7] .
• Support for animated cursors [1/3] [2/3] [3/3] (Bug 16281, 23285, 23790, and 24117).
• Support for obtaining the local IP addresses with gethostbyname [1/3] [2/3] [3/3] (Bug 15711).

Please note that this page is primarily for my own purposes to keep track of the patches I'm making to the default Wine installation. I have every intention of trying to get suitable versions of these patches included in the Wine tree, but until then I will be trying to keep these patches up to date. It is also important to note that the Compholio Edition is not an official version of Wine, so you will make people angry if you try to report bugs or submit test results using the Compholio Edition. If you encounter a problem with the Compholio Edition then feel free to contact me via ehoover at mines dot edu (preferably if you know it's a bug related to the patches).

Compilation Instructions

• Download the latest Wine source code release and all of the above patches
• Unpack the archive through the file manager or with the command:

  tar -xvjf wine-X.X.XX.tar.bz2

• Enter the Wine directory in a command prompt, ie:

  cd wine-X.X.XX

• Apply each of the individual patches:

  patch -p1 < ../000X-YYYYYYY.patch

• Optional: Update the wineserver with the command:

  tools/make_requests

• Update the configure script with:

  autoreconf

• Configure Wine with:

  ./configure

  If you would like to install this seperately from your main Wine install then use:

  ./configure --prefix=${HOME}/wine-compholio

  (where you may choose another path if you so desire)
• Build Wine with:

  make depend && make

• Install with:

  sudo make install

• Optional: Delete the Wine source with:

  cd ..; rm -Rf wine-X.X.XX

• Now you can run the application, in this case Netflix (in Firefox), by executing:
  

  wine C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe" "http://netflix.com/"

  or (if you installed to a separate directory):
  

  ~/wine-compholio/bin/wine "C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe" "http://netflix.com/"
