Newby finds mysterious patch

hello all,

newby at unix. c, etc…
i got my hands on a patch which i am hoping will
fix up opengl to compile properly for os x.
it’s just i’m not sure what to do with it.

any ideas?

You should be able to go into Terminal, cd to the root directory of you
source tree (actually cd to the directory where these
files,extconf.rb,ogl.c,glu.c, and rbogl.c are located), and type ‘patch
patchfile.diff’ where patchfile.diff is the name of your patch file.

Other than that, type ‘man patch’ and read about the patch program.

Hope this helps.

patch < patchfile.diff

The patch reads patches from stdin.

thanks all. got it working i think.
what the patch was meant to fix, it didn’t, but that’s another saga.
