Patching Problems
CJ85:
Hello All.
I cannot get the Windows version of Patch to run on my system. And as I don't currently have any intentions of developing (yet I hope) I was wondering if someone could apply a certain patch for me to the newest build for the IHP120.
Anyone willing shoot me a PM.
Thanks again.

Once you have patched the source code, you then need to compile it into a Rockbox build. Therefore the windows patch utility isn't particularly useful on its own.
In order to do patching/building etc., even without any intention of taking it further and developing, you need a development environment set up.

Thats what I wanted to avoid to be honest. I didn't think I wanted to go through the trouble of getting a build environment set up just to apply a patch. Then again I'm not completely sure how much of a pita I would be passing along asking someone to patch it for me XD

If you mention the patch you are interested in, you might 'lure' someone into doing it ;)

The problem is that someone could build it for you, but everytime you want to upgrade you need to do a new build with the patch included. Honestly, it'd be much simpler to do it yourself, it really isn't very difficult and would give you a great sense of achievement :)
