DJGPP is in e:\djgpp
Allegro is in e:\djgpp\allegro
I unpak the diff file in e:\djgpp
I call patch with patch -p1 < difapr26.diff
> * The directory structure of the files you are trying to patch.
it's allegro 3.0
all the files are in subdirectories of e:\djgpp\allegro
like e:\djgpp\allegro\src or e:\djgpp\allegro\examples etc.

I tried 2.4 AND 2.5 with the same result

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

File to patch:
What is bothering me, and why I called it a bug (somewhere) is the fact
that the SAME thing (in the SAME conditions) works fine IF LFN=N. If
LFN=Y, without changing anything else, the patch fails
