- I'm trying to compile sbprolog on my Indigo. When using 'patch' to
- merge some diff files,
-
- patch < Makefile.diff
-
- I get the error:
-
- Hmm... Looks like a new-style context diff to me...
- The text leading up to this was:
- --------------------------
- |*** Makefile.orig Thu Jan 5 13:10:36 1989
- |--- Makefile Thu Jan 5 11:36:07 1989
- --------------------------
- Patching file Makefile using Plan A...
- Hunk #1 failed at 1.
- 1 out of 1 hunks failed--saving rejects to Makefile.rej
- done
-
- I've tried a number of patch binaries, and also have tried
-
- cat Makefile.diff | patch
- patch Makefile Makefile.diff
-
- but always the same error.
-
- Is this because the 'diff' file is too old, or am I doing something foolish?
