How do I compile a .diff? I tried ./configure, but nothing. Its just the code.

You don't compile a diff. You apply a diff. What app is this for?

btw, diffs aren't code, really - they are the chunks of text to be removed/added/modified from a file

I have to apply it to Wine. I don't know how and i'm trying to get DirectX support for linux.

Did you get it from www.winehq.org (http://www.winehq.org) and if so, do they not provide instructions to apply the patch?

Usually, applying a patch is just:
cd into the src directory
patch -p<whatever> < <patchfile>
