Hi all;
David noticed me some time ago that patch 2.7.1 leads to build failures.
I've updated yesterday my build host to (k)ubuntu 14.04LTS and patch was
updated to 2.7.1 - and no surprise I see the same error:
File Bering-3.4.75.config is not a regular file -- refusing to
patch
1 out of 1 hunk ignored -- saving rejects to file
Bering-3.4.75.config-i686.rej
make: *** [.configured] Error 1
He also identified the cause for the issue and found a solution/workaround:
"I suspect I have a more fussy version of the 'patch' command on my build
host (Fedora 19, GNU patch 2.7.1) than most people. If I add the
"--follow-symlinks" argument to the "patch" calls in linux/buildtool.mk
it works as intended."
I confirm it works also on my build host (unless something fails later in the
build).
If you still have an earlier version patch, can you pls test, if it breaks, if
we change buildtool.mk and add "--follow-symlinks" as parameter?
If it breaks - any ideas for a workaround?
