Hi Zaphod and all.


I know..i did a search..I do also vaguely recall seeing it before... but I cant find it again

I would like to apply Zaphods update to my 4.3.11 install...not that I cant do a complete rebuild and compile of the 4.3.12 but I would learn more about applying a patch if I asked for help and tried something new :=)

so what is the correct syntax to apply you patch Zaphod please ?

i found the answer anyways...

Im at work atm. so i cant test it ...

put the file in the showeq/src ( the directory I compile and make from) directory and do the following:




cd /root/showeq/src
patch <showeq-4.3.11_to_4.3.12




now the questions is.....is this all ? or will i have to recompile all again ?

Chaning the source code magically alters the executable - no need to re-compile /sarcasm off

Of course you will have to re-compile.
