It's NOT a simple question. It's a complicated process, which is why we wrote guides.

The guides are our answers to those questions, so asking them again doesn't make us suddenly be able to know which part of the guide is confusing you.

Tell us what step you get to, and what confuses you about it, and maybe we can help better, but if you keep saying "how do I do it" we're not going to retype hundreds of lines to answer it for you when we've already done it once. Try asking clearer and more precise questions about specific parts of the guide.

!!!! yes I ve looked , yes I ve read !!!! cant you answer a simple question where is the code file ??!!!! and how to patch it ??!!!

The problem here is that your question sucks.  You have to start at the beginning, so you can't skip ahead to patching until you've done the previous steps.  You've seen this first hand when you tried to patch without having the code.  Take a look at that link, and start with the first step, and then go from there.

I'm sorry you've "wasted" time learning about programming, but honestly, if you'd just started with the directions and followed them in sequence, you'd have saved yourself a lot of hassle, and us a lot of trouble trying to guess which steps you'd skipped.

and by the way if your "wonderful and comprehensive " instructions were that helpful there would not be hordes of people asking how to patch a file...

People ask questions because its a natural part of learning.

Yes, read the next sentence, I went into more detail.

Well obviously, otherwise you wouldn't have asked it.

Well I'm not sure that understanding how to compile c code makes me godlike, but that issue aside, I didn't give you an answer.  Instead I told you where to find it for yourself.  Which is basically how one learns about things.  

Its starting to sound a bit like you're not too interested in actually getting this patch working.  If not, I'd recommend you sit down and read more carefully.  You have all the answers you need.  Just spend a few minutes looking over them and come back when you have good questions (or ideally don't come back since you've gotten it to work).

Edit:  bah too slow.
