Hi list.
I have a question about patches. Earlier today someone sent me a load of
patches for rockbox.
That would be me :-).
He very thoughtfully provided me with both one big file of all his patches,
and the patch files individually.
I applied the big file of patches, and it applied fine I got no errors.
However when i tried to build a new build of rb it wouldn't build because of
one error in the code of one of the patches something to do with one of the
functions not being used i'm not completely sure.
However I am very reluctant to not apply his patches just because of one
error. But He is quite busy so i'm not sure when he will get around to fixing
it and i really don't want to anoy him by seeming to complain, so i'd like to
It would have been quite alright to ask :-).
I did do a test compile before sending it out... You must be using a
different target... Tell me off list what player you are building for and
what error you are getting.
However I was wondering could someone please tell me is there a command i can
use to apply multiple patch files in one go as I haven't been able to find
out.
The tool I use is called quilt:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/quilt
It manages a stack of patches: push (apply), pop (unapply), and more
importantly you can have it refresh patches when you edit files. VERY
convenient. You'll have to google a bit to see how to get that going under
Cygwin.
Good luck
