[DGD]Compiling/Patches

[Chris Kaczor]

Hmmm - that is what I tried before and had trouble with.  I tried it again
and here are the results.  Am I missing some parameter to patch?

If I give it the file to patch by hand as dgd/doc/kfun/save_object it will
make the changes to the file, but it seems to me that it should be doing
this automatically.  Thoughts?

Thanks again,

Zor

can't find file to patch at input line 5
Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option?

Cygwin probably has a version of patch included in it.  If not, it'll almost
certainly be able to compile GNU patch.  I can't recall exactly the web site
for cygwin, but its in the FAQ.  Alternatively, it'll be obvious if you
start
at http://sourceware.cygnus.com
