Title: How Do You Run Patch
Post by: aven on August 15, 2009, 11:49:59 AM
I am trying to install the patches for Dyson on ubuntu but I don't know what to do. I couldn't find instructions on how to use the files for the patching. Can anyone tell me how to do it?

By the way, for the Wine version, is it supposed crash when you minimize Dyson? I keep crashing when I minimize the window.

If you extract the zip of patch files to your dyson location, you should be able to use patch in a terminal to apply the patches.

e.g.
Code: [Select]
patch -p1 < SdlDotNet.dll.config.patch
As for the crash on minimize... no it's not supposed to crash :p I have no idea why that might be, sorry. Maybe one day I'll get some time to look into/fix these. But mostly they seem to get fixed by someone popping up who knows the answer. Anyway, for now... I guess, don't minimise it :(

Code: [Select]
ben@ubuntu:~/Desktop/dyson120-linux$ patch -p1 < SdlDotNet.dll.config.patch
missing header for context diff at line 3 of patch
can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|*** SdlDotNet.dll.config-old 2009-08-04 15:56:55.533822371 +0200
|--- SdlDotNet.dll.config 2009-08-04 15:55:22.882694874 +0200
--------------------------

I don't know what exactly is going on but, I don't think it worked here right?

I don't know then. Try -p0?

If not, you could always just download the updated archive, all right it's a bit bigger in terms of megabytes but it should be all patched up :)

If those files were patched then I was using those. =P

But I was getting errors as mentioned in this thread:

I followed all of the requirements listed on this site but is there something else that could be missing still that we need.
