faq on applying a patch ?????


Hi All,

are there any faq on extracting the diff and applying ecos patches ????
I am applying the patch
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/ecos-patches/2003-03/msg00090.html

to the latest cvs with the command patch -px <patchfile  where i tried
several values of x with no success. Patchfile is a file that was copied
from a linux computer copied on a diskette and used in the cygwin
environment.

I get several of this type of message :
missing header for unified diff at line 40 of patch
can't find file to patch at input line 40
Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------


thanks

Henri
