Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2001 12:14:00 -0000 Message-id: X-SW-Source: 2001-07/msg01061.html Hi Armin, if you edit your makefile anyway you can as well use Corinna's original suggestion: patch -b -p2 -i ../../db-3.2.9.patch or I'd use the unixy way: patch -b -p2 < ../../db-3.2.9.patch or for best portability conditionally set a variable to cat or type: $CAT patch-file-name | patch -b -p2 Bye, Heribert (heribert_dahms@icon-gmbh.de) > -----Original Message----- > From: Armin Theissen [SMTP:Armin.Theissen@Sun.COM] > Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2001 11:42 > To: cygwin@cygwin.com > Subject: Re: does patch.exe work different than other unx patch > tools? > > > > Hi, > > thanks for all your help on that issue.
