I still use diff 2. diff 3 didn't work and I had no time to investigate :-/Josué Andrade Gomeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18246746008508860737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37884241.post-77322072928069803412013-06-26T22:07:12.597-03:002013-06-26T22:07:12.597-03:00After spending weeks building my own static-based ...After spending weeks building my own static-based distro (also based on nuwen) I then discover your work.<br />That is so unfair. :-)<br /><br />For some reason I insist on doing this on my single-core P4 (running configure in MSYS takes <b>forever</b>) instead of cross-compiling on the multi-core monster.<br />All that fighting and patching to get some things working. Tiring, taxing, frustrating, but I wouldn't have it any other way.<br /><br />Everything was built against gcc 4.8.0 just before I find that nuwen upped to 4.8.1. I'm not about to rebuild anything but if I decide to start over I'll use your distro and then rebuild those items and libs that you don't have.<br /><br />Then I can concentrate on re-doing the apps like lynx (w/slang), most, less, jed, nano, vile, zsh, etc.<br /><br />I must say you've done a great job.<br /><br />Sidebar: Have you tried to use diff 3.2 or 3.3 to create patch files? Using either one of those produces a patch file with a single diff (the first it finds).<br />I can't figure out why. MSYS and gnuwin32 diff (v2.8.x) do what's expected.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06027395320243609304noreply@blogger.com
