There's a utility *exactly* such as patch that you can use to apply those diffs, it's patch! Place the diffs file in the grep top-level source directory, cd into that directory in a shell and run patch --dry-run -p0 < diffs.txt which will do a quick trial run. You may see some output about "matched at ... offset" or "fuzz", but that's ok, as long as there are no rejections. If it looks ok, apply the patch for real by running patch -p0 < diffs.txt Then reconfigure and re-build, and you should be ok. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
