Download wine source, apply the patch, and build it.

how do I do that exactly im not very good when it comes to compiling programs and apply patches to them, also would that mean i have to uninstall my current version of wine and reinstall?

First result in Google for patching wine: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-473467.html

Make sure you have the source to the version of wine you're using and not a debian/ubuntu package.

You will have to extract this source, then patch it, and finally compile / install it.

patching info: http://www.linuxforums.org/applications/using_diff_and_patch.html
this might be better compile info than the first one I posted which is below this line: http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing.html#source
compile info: http://www.aboutdebian.com/compile.htm

Google is quite useful. I wish people would use it more often.

I must not be using the right search terms then, cause I searched for how to make patches in linux etc and couldnt find anything useful

EDIT am I missing something cause I get this when I try to make the patch

I think I messed something up, I got the patch installed but now I cant run any games like lef4dead, they just dont run

Run the game from the command line to get the error messages. "Not running" could mean one of a billion different problems.
