How do i do that please? You can do two things (I think, it's been a while since I did this): Use diff --new-file (or -N) to include the new file in the patch or Add a line to the autobuilder/libraries/libfoo/setvars file that that does: cp $H/newfile.c $S/some/desti/nation/newfile.c Which is preferable rather depends - the patch will get applied automatically and can bundle up changes related to the new file, while cp is cleaner if you need a new file and nothing else. BTW, have you seen: http://www.riscos.info/index.php/Autobuilder_Development_and_Packaging which explains roughly what the autobuilder is about.

Yes.. sort of showed the way, but (unless I'm blind) only covered patches, not whole file replacements.

[gccsdk] Autobuilder patches
Hi OK. so I can now build either 4.1.2 or 4.7.1 development systems. next test.. in build, ../autobuilder/buold -v wget -D fails with a build error in libgpg-error0 I think I have a suitable patch. How do I add relevant patches to the (my) autobuilder folder please Thanks John -- Stop press!
