Hi Armin,
if you edit your makefile anyway you can as well use Corinna's original
suggestion:
patch -b -p2 -i ../../db-3.2.9.patch
or I'd use the unixy way:
patch -b -p2 < ../../db-3.2.9.patch
or for best portability conditionally set a variable to cat or type:
$CAT patch-file-name | patch -b -p2
Bye, Heribert (heribert_dahms@icon-gmbh.de)
