Having trouble compiling a patch

(1/1)

cheesecake:
I'm currently trying to compile a patch to install an sgf viewer and editor. I downloaded the .diff file (flyspray: 7369), but when i used the instructions in the wiki (using command prompt) it said that there was no patch command. Any help?

AlexP:
And what development environment are you using?  Native linux?  Cygwin?  VMWare?  You can't do it just in Windows.

cheesecake:
really?
that would explain why command prompt wasn't working.
Is there any space conservative program for patching?
I.E. something that only does the patch, rather than the entire cygwin environment?

AlexP:
You patch the source code, not the compiled build, so you need to have the entire environment in order to compile the patched source.

Take a look at the SimpleGuideToCompiling wiki page.
