Title: Patch apply problem
Post by: xwaydoublecode1234.rez on May 05, 2007, 04:25:46 PM

i am using cygwin

i have downloaded a patch file from flyspray...(5594)

i follow all wiki instructions, but cygwin says "no such file or directory. skip this patch?"

What does this mean?

What am i doing wrong?

Patch files aren't "from" svn, they are against the svn sources. It looks like the patch you're trying to apply doesn't find the file it is supposed to patch -- you either patch from an odd folder or the patch wasn't created from the sources root folder.

put the patch in your rockbox directory where you downloaded from SVN.  then open up cygwin and run "patch -p0 < patchname.patch"  if that doesn't work try increasing the number after p as in "patch -p1 < patchname.patch"  This is on the wiki page.

Thanks!

My bad, from flyspray. I was mistaken

My patch file is placed here: C:\cygwin\home\user\rockbox-daily-1

And I'll try to move it here: C:\cygwin\home\user\rockbox or

C:\cygwin\home\user\rockbox\rockbox-daily-1

Am i right?  :-\

But any way, this patch is out of date =))))


Thanks!
