Hi Daf, it looks that you saved the whole mail message as-is, including all the mail headers. The patch program needs only the bare text content. Actually, this patch program looks for very specifically formatted text content. The relevant part of the patch starts with the line diff -Nau my_cinelerra/quicktime/Makefile.2 my_cinelerra_sowt/quicktime/Makefile.2 i.e. the patch program looks for a line starting with the word "diff", followed by two file names. hope that helps Cheers, Hermann V. _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
