Re: gpc 2.xx patch probs | Solaris 2.6

Hello!

According to Evan Cooch:

[...] Here is what I've tried.

• created a new directory
• unpacked the GCC-2.8.1 and then GPC-980401 archives
• ln -s "../gpc-980401/p" gcc-2.8.1 (the quotes being necessary to prevent ".." from being expanded by tcsh in my case)
• cd gcc-2.8.1
• gunzip -c ../gpc-980401-980405.diff.gz | patch -p1

It is in the last step that I have the problems. When I execute this command, my system respinds with:

Looks like a unified context diff. File to patch:

The `diff' file was produced from a directory named `gpc/p' rather than `gcc-2.8.1/p'. Maybe this is confusing `patch' now.

Please retry with the `gcc-2.8.1' directory renamed (or symlinked) to `gpc'.

Thanks very much in advance. Again, if you send a copy of your reply to me directly, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks for your polite request. This is a welcome difference to all those Newsgroup posters who simply "expect" people answering their questions by mail. :-)

Hope this helps,

Peter
