OK, I get the same error when using this command:
patch -p1 -i khtml-fsdg.patch
It's actually khtm-fsdg.diff
After changing the name of the command and issuing it in the directory
kde4libs-whatever-version/khtml/html, the output is always this, whether on
Brigantia or Toutatis:
----------------------------------
can't find file to patch at input line 4
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|diff -ru kdelibs-4.8.0.orig/khtml/html/html_objectimpl.cpp
kdelibs-4.8.0/khtml/html/html_objectimpl.cpp
|--- kdelibs-4.8.0.orig/khtml/html/html_objectimpl.cpp 2012-01-30
19:46:27.684114289 +0100
|+++ kdelibs-4.8.0/khtml/html/html_objectimpl.cpp 2012-01-30
19:47:47.222111046 +0100
--------------------------
File to patch:
-------------------------------------
It's easy enough to get past. If I type the name of the file, the patch
applies. However, if I am to (eventually, hopefully) write a helper off of
this diff, won't the diff need to apply correctly on the first shot, without
having to specify the exact name of the file to edit?
This must be occurring because the diff itself references kdelibs-4.8.0,
whereas on Brigantia the diff is in the 4.7.4 folder and on Toutatis it is in
the 4.8.5 folder. Additionally, Trisquel is renaming the kdelibs directories
to kde4libs-version-number, instead of kdelibs-version-number.
Should I edit the first three lines with the Trisquel-correct directory names
to get the patch/diff to apply on the first shot?
