First change to your Blackbox compile directory. For a normal (an
unzipped, untarred format, plain text) patch:
patch -p0 < name.patch
Or for a gzip patch do :
gzip -cd name.patch.gz | patch -p0
The -p0 could be -p1 or -p2 or even greater, this option just strips parts
of the paths of the filenames defined in the patch
file. For example. if path is /src/Window.cc
-p0 : blackbox/src/Window.cc
-p1 : src/Window.cc
-p2 : Window.cc
(If -p0 patch complains it cannot find filename, try -p1 etc.) Then make
and optionally make install.
