Hello List,

First I'm working on a unsupported distro (Manjaro) and try to get an older version (2.7.1) of poky working. I have ask a question before and Ross Burton pointed me in the direction of a patch. Now I'm trying to apply that patch, however the patch is for a newer version of the original files, so I need to make my own patch for the older version of these files. (reason: WARNING: Some of the context lines in patches were ignored. This can lead to incorrectly applied patches.)

The patch says: the file to be patch is e.g. /linux-user/syscall.c
My question is where can I find the original syscall.c before any patches are applied to it?

Hi Robert,

This file and the patch are for the qemu package.

You can run:
$ bitbake -c patch qemu-native <--- host build
or
$ bitbake -c patch qemu <--- target build
to get all the patches that are listed in the qemu recipe in poky:
   meta/recipes-devtools/qemu/qemu_3.1.1.1.bb
and
   meta/recipes-devtools/qemu/qemu.inc
applied to unpacked source.

The patched source will be in (this is on master branch):

<build_area>/tmp-glibc/work/x86_64-linux/qemu-native/4.1.0-r0/qemu-4.1.0/linux-user/syscall.c

poky might just be /tmp/ instead of /tmp-glibc/

In my case the log of the patching is in:
   tmp-glibc/work/x86_64-linux/qemu-native/4.1.0-r0/temp/log.do_patch


Just to be complete: I have tried the latest warrior branch and that worked fine. My objective is not just to get it working be also to get a grip on how the system works :-)

Super.

Have you looked at:
   https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/dev-manual/dev-manual.html

and perhaps:

https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#finding-the-temporary-source-code

will be useful now.

Manipulating patches by hand can be tedious. There's a tool
called wiggle:
   https://linux.die.net/man/1/wiggle
which can help but may be too much for you to deal with initially.

Actually, I suggest that you build on a supported distro initially
to understand the basic workflow and then decide if you want to figure
out how to make Arch/Manjaro work.

Thanks,
Robert.
