EnergyMech: Addons

Installing Patches

1) Download the patch file into the main directory of the emech distribution. For this example, the patch file is called patch.diff

bash$ ls
COPYING   README    checkmech  contrib    patch.diff  sample.set
Makefile  VERSIONS  configure  mech.help  randfiles   src
bash$

2) Use the patch command to install your downloaded patch. It may come up with 'Hunk <x> succeeded at <line>' warnings if you have installed more than one patch, but they can be safely ignored.

bash$ patch -p1 -i patch.diff
patching file `src/combot.c'
patching file `src/defines.h'
patching file `src/global.h'
patching file `src/structs.h'
bash$

3) You can now compile and setup your emech as normal.
