You can download the tarball for the current release of Wine (1.3.0) and extract the code from it and then apply the patch that way. The tarball can be found here [1]. After you download and extract the tarball you can follow the instructions here [2] for applying the patch. After you apply the patch, you'll have to build Wine from source and install it in order for the patch to take affect.

Also, there's no reason to run as root until you install Wine

Hope this helps.
