In section 4.1.2 patch series, it gives an overview of patching and it then list the search order, giving FOUR cases. The last case is "bug fixing" and it goes on to describe that this case is intended for patching rules in the PTXdist rule files. This is EXACTLY what I need to do, unfortunately, that's the last thing is says about this case. specifically, I'm using ptxdist-2010.08.0 and GNU Make v3.82. I'm trying to build the OSELAS toolchain, so I'm working with that as the "project" directory in the ptxdist rules there is apache2.make which needs to be patched to run under Make v3.82 (there is a missing line continuation character) I have tried building a patch in my toolchain (project) /patches folder a) naming the patch folder (package) 'apache2' -- matching the rule name found in ptxdist/rules b) naming the folder 'httpd-2.0.58' -- matching the package name as described in the rule makefile Neither case seems to even attempt to execute the patch Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated -- ptxdist mailing list ptxdist@pengutronix.de
