Re: [Linux-streams] RH 2.6 64-bit experience needed

They are patch files. You apply them with the 'patch' command.
For example:
Create the link from /usr/src/linux to /usr/src/kernels/xxx
as I described in the previous e-mail.
cd /usr/src
tar -xvf LiS-2.18.0.tgz
cd /usr/src/LiS-2.18
patch -g0 -p1 < LiS-2.18.0-A.patch
patch -g0 -p1 < LiS-2.18.0-B.patch
patch -g0 -p1 < LiS-2.18.0-C.patch
make
for sles9 say 'n' to the third prompt and enter the correct path
Do you intend to run LiS on this machine with
the currently running kernel? [default: y]
use defaults for all other prompts
make install

The A,B,C does imply the order in which they should be applied.
For x86_64 you should look at the LiS-2.18.0-C.patch file and
note the compile and link flags used for that platform. That
information comes from /usr/src/linux/arch/x86_64/Makefile
