Hi Folks, Found I had installed GNU Pascal on my old mac some time ago (cannot remember how). It seems to work. I have recently been porting some old Turbo Pascal DOS code (DSP tools), but now would like to port one that uses a little Turbo 5 graphics. It looks like I need to use GRX. So I download it and started to try and compile it - before I found out you good people have been here before (I got as far as not being able to link in the X11 libs). So I have now found the patch (http://grx.gnu.de/macosx.diff), but I am not sure how to apply it. It appears to expect several makefile.osx files to already be in the original tree, with lines like:- diff -uprN grx249.orig/pascal/bgi/makefile.osx grx249.macosx/ pascal/bgi/makefile.osx in the patch, but when I look in grx249.tar.gz or grx249s.zip, I cannot find these starting .osx files to patch.
Have I missed something, or do I just take the corresponding .x11 files and copy them to make the required .osx files for patching?
Many thanks Michael

That appearance is somewhat deceiving. These are file creation diffs. They describe the difference between a non-existing file and the contents of an existing file. 'patch' processes these without further ado.
