Wine - Kane Edition

Overview

The Kane Edition is a special build of the popular Wine software with patches to make Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath work out of the box.

Currently included patches:

• Full support for animated cursors (Bug 16281).
• Support for UDP broadcast packets on a bound socket (Bug 7929).

Temporary patches:

• Fix for mp3 compile issue on Ubuntu (Bug 20042).

Accepted patches (archive):

• 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 so that I can play Kane's Wrath with my friends on the weekends while still keeping up with the latest Wine. It is also important to note that the Kane 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 Kane Edition. If you encounter a problem with the Kane 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).
