Subject: How to install Alan's patches?
Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2001 16:03:02 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010213150328Z131694-514+4497@vger.kernel.org> (raw)

Hi folks,

sorry for the silly question, but i can't get it to work :

I have linux-2.4.1 unpacked, configured and installed.
Now i want to apply Alan Cox patche (linux-2.4.1-ac9), but i always get
these errors :

[root@space src]# cat /home/puck/patch-2.4.1-ac9 | patch -p0
can't find file to patch at input line 4
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|diff -u --new-file --recursive --exclude-from /usr/src/exclude linux.vanilla/CREDITS linux.ac/CREDITS
|--- linux.vanilla/CREDITS      Wed Jan 31 22:05:29 2001
|+++ linux.ac/CREDITS   Fri Feb  9 13:19:13 2001
--------------------------
File to patch: 
[root@space src]#

Do i have to create linux.vanilla and linux.ac, or what's the magic?! :-)

Thanx a lot,
  Thomas
