From: "Vladimir Romanov" <rovlad@IPBI.RU> > I've downloaded and installed Cygnus GNU-Win32, CircleMUD 3.1 and > Oasis OLC 2.0.3 patch. More or less the same setup I'm using for developing. > After copying patch file, patch.exe and > cygwin.dll into circle-3.1 directory (containing > bin/cnf/doc/lib/log/src folders) and execing "patch.exe < olc.patch" > I get the following error: > > D:\MUD\fr\circle-3.1>patch < olc.patch > Hmm... Looks like a unified diff to me... Indeed it is (the -Npru means "unified, show function line, recurse directories and pretend non-existant files are empty"). My version of patch doesn't have any problems with unified diffs, though. > The text leading up to this was: > -------------------------- > |diff -Npru circle-3.1/src/GenOLC.html oasis2.0.3/src/GenOLC.html > |--- circle-3.1/src/GenOLC.html 1970-01-01 01:00:00.000000000 +0100 > |+++ oasis2.0.3/src/GenOLC.html 2003-01-27 21:53:06.000000000 +0100 > -------------------------- > (Creating file GenOLC.html...) > Patching file GenOLC.html using Plan A... > patch: **** unexpected end of file in patch > I've been unable to reproduce the error. however, 'man patch' suggests that you use the -u (or --unified) option, like this: patch -u <olc.patch Another, stranger, reason could be windows/linux trouble. search google for dos2unix . > It also manages to create GenOLC.html file with no content (0KB > size). Makes sense - after all, it's complaining about unexpected _end_ of file. > Is there something I'm doing wrong?
