I have tried to apply patch #29 to our copy of perl. The existing patch level is 28. (I got it about 2 weeks ago.) I applied the patch from within nn newsreader with the option -p -N. I am using patch V2.0 and running on SGI 4D under Irix 3.3. I have made two changes to .c files to put a /* on lines declaring vprintf and one other routine that the Mips compiler gave errors on. I am a novice with respect to using patch and I am not sure where I go from here. (I can't even find the file pch.c!!) Here is an extract from Patch.Result: | |Index: patchlevel.h |Prereq: 28 -------------------------- Good. This file appears to be the 28 version. Patching file patchlevel.h using Plan A... Hunk #1 succeeded at 1. Hmm... The next patch looks like a new-style context diff to me... The text leading up to this was: -------------------------- | |Index: Configure |Prereq: 3.0.1.9 |*** Configure.old Tue Oct 16 11:44:13 1990 |--- Configure Tue Oct 16 11:44:29 1990 -------------------------- Good.
