[comp.windows.x] problem applying patch 2

spock@bnrmtl.UUCP (Richard Young) (02/11/90)

Hi,

I just picked up "fixes 2" from the xstuff mail server.  There was an
extra carriage return in the file which caused our version of patch to
choke.  I had already stripped off the leading comments, so I can't
give you a line number (except to say that it is in the mid 1400's).
The text leading up to the problem is:


*** /tmp/,RCSt1a21346	Wed Feb  7 18:47:41 1990
--- mit/clients/xdm/Imakefile	Wed Feb  7 18:47:28 1990
***************
*** 39,47 ****
         PROGRAMS = xdm xdmshell sessreg
  
  #if !HasVoidSignalReturn
!      SIGDEFS = -DSIGNALRETURNSINT
  #endif
!         DEFINES = -DBINDIR=\"$(BINDIR)\" -DXDMDIR=\"$(XDMDIR)\"
$(SIGDEFS) $(DESDEFS) ConnectionFlags                            ^
                                                                 |
                                                                 |
                           This carriage return should not be here

After joining (the last two lines shown here) the patch applied smoothly.
