The PatchScript runs "patch -p1", meaning that the file names are determined by removing 1 path component from the given paths. For this to work, you have to edit the patch file and add some path component. For sanity reasons, this should be something like xmms_osx_plugin-1.0/, but it can be anything. Meaning: Replace the lines --- src/audio.c.orig 2004-06-13 15:43:04.000000000 -0700 +++ src/audio.c by --- foo/src/audio.c.orig 2004-06-13 15:43:04.000000000 -0700 +++ bar/src/audio.c Then: cross your fingers, because patch is very fussy with spaces that may get added when you copy and paste for example the content of a web page. Download the file rather with wget or curl and hope that is hasn't been mistreated before. And edit it with vi or some other editor that doesn't add spurious spaces. In the case at hand, the patches are so small that this procedure is actually working (just tried; I can't test run the binary, because I am not in front of the build machine). Most of the time, a better idea would be to stop the build after the sources are unpacked and the old patch applied, then go to the source directory and apply the new patch by hand, and then create a new patch file by running diff between an unpatched source directory and the patched one. -- Martin -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
