Maybe it's years of contamination by GNU diff/patch, but I'm stumped. The files I need to patch are in WRKDIR, not WRKSRC. Installation is really a matter of patching the two linux install scripts and getting things untarred in the right places. I've already changed $WRKSRC to be WRKDIR rather than WRKDIR/lf95, as WRKDIR never gets created. I now just need to create the correct diffs for those two files. I've tried just applying diff to the original and modified versions-- this gives me patches that work, but that ask for the name of the file to be patched. I've tried duplicating work and using diff -r, but that gives me a file beginning with diff -r work.old/install work/install 1c1 that still asks for a file to be patched. I'm sure there's a "correct" way to do this that's straightforward, but I'm baffled. Once I have this done, I think it's only mild cosmetic/compliance issues, and figuring out whether to follow normal bsd practice for manpages, or to leave the program functioning the way people expect linux fortran compilers to function . . . hawk -- Richard E.
