Re: Problem building garnome 0.24.2 on Solaris 9 - HELP needed

[Eric Damphousse <ericdamphousse darwingroup net>]

Found out a few interesting things:

If I manually gunzip2 | tar xvf the gtk+-2.2.1 file then rerun the make...
I still get the previously noted msg, but this time, if I specified the full
path of the file it wants to diff, ie: gtk+-2.2.1/gtk/gtkstyle.c, then it
works, but complains about the next file its trying to diff.

So, I could potentially make this work, but I doubt very much that this is
the way it has been planned.

Any ideas?

Ok,

You have assumed right, garnome uses recent GAR. I have tried both methods you have specified, and the problem now is as such:

 ==> Applying patch download/insensitive-iain.diff
can't find file to patch at input line 4
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|diff --speed-large-files --minimal -Nru gtk+-2.2.1/gtk/gtkstyle.c gtk+-2.2.1/gtk/gtkstyle.c

File to patch: "it expects something from me,"

Any clues,,,

I will do my googleing to see if anyone else had those issues....

	Yeah, that's a likely culprit.  

First of all, make sure you install GNU patch.

Second, I'm assuming garnome 0.24.2 (242 sighting!) uses recent GAR,
which has the following at about line 204 of gar.lib.mk:

PATCHDIR ?= $(WORKDIR)
PATCHDIRLEVEL ?= 1
PATCHDIRFUZZ ?= 2
GARPATCH = patch -d$(PATCHDIR) -p$(PATCHDIRLEVEL) -F$(PATCHDIRFUZZ)

	if this is so, then you can do:

make GARPATCH='/usr/bin/gpatch -d$(PATCHDIR) -p$(PATCHDIRLEVEL) -F$(PATCHDIRFUZZ)' install

and the patch rules will use the new patch utility.  Barring that,
just edit gar.lib.mk and swap in the location for GNU patch wherever
you have the system calling the raw "patch" executable.
