Hello, Just wondering if anybody knows why solaris patch refuses to process the bdb 4.7 patch files, where the patch command on linux works perfectly. Ie: on solaris : patch -p0 <patch.4.7.25.1 Looks like a context diff to me... Hunk #1 failed at line 187. Hunk #3 failed at line 296. 2 out of 4 hunks failed: saving rejects to sequence/sequence.c.rej done
Looks like you're using Solaris' old patch, which doesn't understand unified diffs. You need a recent GNU patch...
Works fine on a linux machine ? Have tried patch 2.5.9 built from soruce on gnu.org <http://gnu.org>, this fails also. (i usually end up patching on linux, and then copying the patched tarball back to solaris.. but just wondering?) Cheers Brett
