How Do I Complie A Patch

[crazywhiteboy9x9]

Ok so i want to learn how to complie patches will some 1 help me out???

[Death On Ice]

You mean patch the source with a downloaded patch?

Or do you mean edit the source and make a patch from your edits?

[TinMan]

You don't compile a patch, you patch with a patch.
Patch files are applied to existing files and they patch them.
Search these forums, there are plenty of threads that have covered doing it.
Search "compile trem" for the compile info.

to make a patch from source code, type

Code Select Expand

svn diff > patchfile.patch

to apply a patch, type

Code Select Expand

patch -p0 < patchname.patch

[Odin]

If you are about to make your own patch, you must also add your own files to the source code before doing svn diff:

svn add file

You expect people to know how to solve your problem, but you don't tell us what the problem is. Post the error.

[blood2.0]

Let me guess the error, Error 2/ GCC not found.

You can't compile without a compiler.
Follow one of the tutorials.

ok, i think i have everything ready, except:

where do you put the .patch file?

and

where do you put the original game.qvm?

also, what i said above, i was getting an error, here it is:

Code Select Expand

$ make
make -C src/tools/lcc install
make[1]: Entering directory `/mingw/tremulous/src/tools/lcc'
gcc -O2 -Wall -fno-strict-aliasing -MMD -DTEMPDIR=\"/tmp\" -DSYSTEM=\"\" -c -Isrc -o build-mingw32-x86/etc/lcc.o etc/lcc.c

[i'm probably doing something horribly wrong, but idk what]

[Divmax]

Read the post above you for the solution for your error...

* Divmax is getting pissed off with people WHO CANT FUCKING READ.

[AlphaBetaAdmin]

wow...i finaly got it working, some files were installed in the wrong place =/


i moved:

cc1.exe
gcc.exe
cpp0.exe

to the bin folder in C:\msys\1.0\bin


and i copied mingw directly to C:/

wow, there are a lot of files to be made xD

[AlphaBetaAdmin]

um, i figured out last error, now onto the next one...

$ patch -p0 < NERO_QVM.patch

C:\msys\1.0\bin\patch.exe: *** Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap (0x715B0000 <0x1690000>) in child, Win32 error 0


[David]

A one second google on that error and the top hit says that your a retard for moving things around and blindly hoping it would work.
Read the docs.

[Divmax]

The error "Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap" is actually due to some
XP/cygwin bug in older versions of the cygwin1 DLL. To fix the problem, go
to http://www.cygwin.com, and then download and install the lastest and
greatest version  (r1.3.0). One potential hang up here, is that PDP++
expects to find cygwin1.dll in something like C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32, however
the cygwin install program puts it in something like C:\CYGWIN\BIN. So, to
fix this just copy the file over.

The other solution, disable your AV(For stupid people, Anti-Virus).
