patch can't find files by linux-stype path

[Andrey Repin]

Greetings, All!

[C:\arc\games\online\WoW\AddOns\DebuffFilter-1.98]$patch < ../.modd/DebuffFilter/TinyFontFix.patch
can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|--- DebuffFilter/DebuffFilter.xml      2009-09-01 22:10:48.000000000 +0400
|+++ DebuffFilter/DebuffFilter.xml      2009-10-04 08:28:36.412625000 +0400
--------------------------
File to patch: ?
[C:\arc\games\online\WoW\AddOns\DebuffFilter-1.98]$patch < ../.modd/DebuffFilter/TinyFontFix.patch
can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|--- ./DebuffFilter/DebuffFilter.xml    2009-09-01 22:10:48.000000000 +0400
|+++ ./DebuffFilter/DebuffFilter.xml    2009-10-04 08:28:36.412625000 +0400
--------------------------
File to patch:

But when I change these lines to
--- DebuffFilter\DebuffFilter.xml  2010-09-18 16:25:08.000000000 +0400
+++ DebuffFilter\DebuffFilter.xml  2010-10-01 17:54:35.746500000 +0400

the patch works well.

Ah, of course...
[C:\arc\games\online\WoW\AddOns\DebuffFilter-1.98\DebuffFilter]$which patch
patch is an external : C:\Programs\CygWin\bin\patch.exe

So, the question is... what i'm doing wrong?

C:\arc\games\online\WoW\AddOns\DebuffFilter-1.98
is not a cygwin path, so what is your shell ?

I will expect something like
/cygdrive/c/arc/games/online/WoW/AddOns/DebuffFilter-1.98

patch --help is your friend,
you need likely to specify 
"-p number"
