Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2001 02:40:00 -0000 Message-id: <200107170940.KAA15755@ireserver.Ireland.Sun.COM> X-SW-Source: 2001-07/msg00893.html Hi, I searched the website for this problem, but cannot find anything so I want to ask you here. I have a patch (see attachment, supposed to patch three files down the directory tree) which won't work using the patch.exe tool provided with cygwin. However, it works perfectly with other patch.exe tools (UnxUtils from http://www.edv.agrar.tu-muenchen.de/~syring/win32/UnxUtils.html ) and on unix systems itself. I wonder what could make the patch work with the cygwin patching tool. The patch command is 'patch -b -p2' Any ideas? thanks armin ----------------------------------------------------------------- Armin dot Theissen at sun dot com phone +353 1 819 9080 SUN Microsystems Ireland (SUN intern 19080) East Point Business Park, Boole House Dublin 3, Rep. of Ireland ----------------------------------------------------------------- Armin dot Theissen at sun dot com phone +353 1 819 9080 SUN Microsystems Ireland (SUN intern 19080) East Point Business Park, Boole House Dublin 3, Rep. of Ireland
