There is a lot here so i hope you guys can follow.
Okay hopefully some can help with this i'm really new to linux. I have been trying to follow these tuts. to setup a registry on wine. Towards the top of the first url its states that i need to edit the server/sock.c. So i hope i don't have to install another wine other than the one that came with Ultimate Edition 2.3, but i really don't know. But i couldn't get the commands to work that he gave due to the fact of dir location i'm sure. (don't know though)
*So my first question is how would i go about editing the server/sock.c from the one that came with Ultimate Edition 2.3 or do i need to get a new version of wine? (tuts say to get a new one)
*If i need to get a new ver. how do i go about doing this to fit this tutorial? ( i believe it called for an open source one which i think means i have to use the terminal which i'm not good in.)
*I was able to the reg into wine i'm not 100% i was able to convert it to UTF-8 i tried this by opening in Kate and saving as UTF-8. Not sure by doing it this way if it actually converts it like it would as iconv. ( when i ran the .exe in wine it did not turn out like the end product of first tut, one reason is probably not editing the server/source.c could be more idk)
*Also if someone has done these tuts, could someone kinda explain this to me in a more dummy version. (step by step and assuming i have no knowledge of terminal which i don't)
* This is kinda off topic but a lot of terminal stuff calls to be logged in as root. Not sure what this means but how do i do it? (if there is already a post of this that i've overlooked just link it to me as long as its doable by a newb)
Tuts i've been looking at. Second one has a nice picture of them editing the server/sock.c
