CVS Applying patch

[xzoowy]

Hi, Ive installed Cygwin and done the following steps:

1) Placed the patch.txt file in my /ogrenew folder
2) Set my current directory in Cygwin to my /ogrenew folder
3) execute the command

patch -p0 < patch.txt

What im I doing wrong ?

When looking inside the patch.txt file the relative path of the Ogre install folder is /ogre and not /ogrenew :

RCS file: /cvsroot/ogre/ogreaddons/3dssceneexporter/DotSceneViewer/Application.cpp,

is that an issue ?

Nothing, from what I can see. Are you getting any errors since you are asking?

Edit: Ahh... looks like you're trying to apply a patch to an ogreaddon. I think you need to change to your ogreaddons directory and apply the patch from there.

When I execute the command, (ive tried to apply the patch in the /ogreaddons folder also)

patch -p0 < patch.txt

it just makes a directory -p0 and puts a error log there with a time stamp and always the same error

AuPatch fetch (common:action) failed.

Problem solved.

By default Cygwin does a minimal installation, so you need to add yourself the neccessary packages.

The problem was that i forgot to install the package responsible for the patch program which is : patchutils

So for does that wish to use Cygwin dont forget these packages at installation.

1) cvs
2) cvsutils
3) patchutils
