Hello I'm trying to install the last version of emacs (to test Gnus!) on my box. I've got a compil error, I made a search and found that thread: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2005-September/025703.html By reading the thread I could deduce that this patch seems to work fine. I decided to apply it. And here is my problem: I don't know how to patch correctly a file i suppose coz when i type: patch src/xterm.c < mypatch.patch Then the patch is not include in the file but simply copied at the top of i= t. Could someone explain me how to patch correctly a file? And especially where i could find some docs on diff/patch commands (apart man)? Many thx -- Powered by FreeBSD 6.O http://www.freebsd.org
