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

Alan's patches are installed like this:
# cd /usr/src
# tar xIf linux-2.4.1.tar.bz2
# cd linux
# patch -sp1 < ../patch-2.4.1-ac6
# chown -R root:root .
Note the "-sp1" and that you need to be _inside_ the tree. Also, you don't
need to waste another process ("cat") and create a pipe, just use shell
input redirection facility "<".
Regards,
Tigran

from linux (/usr/src/linux) directory, if the patch is
up a level (/usr/src):
patch -p1 <../patch-2.4.1-ac9
hth,
bradley mclain
ps -- probably a google search with the string 'how to
install ac patches' will find some instructions for
you.

Calling it linux.ac is one answer. Another one is
cd linux
patch -p1 <../patchfile

patch -p1 -i ../patchfile means that patch won't read the whole patchfile
into a temporary file first, which it will do if patch reads from stdin.
