Thanks for bothering with this but I just can't seem to get it right. Lets get down to cases (I've tried every combination I can think of:). in my ~/tmp I have two source trees. One original and one modified: src src.orig I make a diff as per man page of diff: diff -crN src.orig src > src.diff How do I apply that src.diff onto the 'real' original sources at /opt/uClinux/src? A simple 'cd /opt/uClinux; patch < src.diff' wont do it. Nor any combination of -p[1-7]. I have also tried going down into /opt/uClinux/src etc to no avail. This is really embarrassing. (as well as annoying:) If you'd help me I'd be ever so grateful. /Micke > -- > Crist J.
