I initially had trouble getting this patch to work, and couldn't figure out why. I worked a bit comparing the patch downloaded from Trac, and the one sent to me in personal email from Alexander. Apparently, uploading patches to Trac causes a change in the line ending characters (cr, lf chars). After downloading the patch from Trac, and then applying it, there are messages about it having to strip cr/lf chars from the patch. This doesn't happen applying the one Alexander sent me. Anyway, because I downloaded the patch from trac as one user on my system, but needed to apply the patch and build the package as my dedicated build user, I cut and pasted the patch after downloading it from Trac into a new file for my build user. The non-standard line endings caused the pasted version of the patch to be completely wrong, rendering it useless. After seeing what had happened, applying the correct version of the patch resolved the issue. FYI to Alex, I rediffed the patch as it applied with offsets and actually had two fixes to one file in the patch. The rediffed patch now applies clean and condensed the fixes to the one file into one instance of the file with multiple parts. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.28] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 08:51:01 up 17 days, 20:28, 1 user, load average: 0.63, 0.23, 0.08 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
