[fuse-devel] How do I apply a 2.9 patch?

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

Hello,

I was wondering if there are instructions somewhere on how to apply the patches? I have tried various things but all have been failing. I am probably just missing something very obvious...

This is on RHEL 5 - 2.6.18-238.5.1.el5.  

I have tried two ways: 

1.) Copy the files from the snapshot into (a copy of) the current 2.8.5 install (since the snapshots don't contain all the necessary files to compile it)

2.) Use the automake, aclocal, autocoonf tools on the snapshot to generate the necessary makefiles etc.

1.)

For the latest snapshot (utimens change from July 4) I get the below compile error. I assume it is picking up the wrong fcntl.h, although from what I could tell it was using the one in my /usr/include, which does have the definition of AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW. 

I have downloaded the snapshot of the latest patch () and copied it into (a copy of) my local 2.8.5, e.g. replacing all the files in 2.8.5. with the ones that are in the snapshot ziptar. I did this because the snapshot is missing things like configure and Makefile.in files, but I am not sure if this is the correct procedure?

Here is the compile output with latest patch (July 4):

With an earlier snapshot (May 19) that doesn't have the AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW variable in it yet, I get a different error:

I have taken out the example from the build as I don't need it, but obviously I still get a run time failure because it can't resolve fuse_buf_copy and fuse_buf_size.

2.)

I then tried to use the auto generation tools, but that worked even less. I should note that AC_PROG_LIBTOOL is in the confiugre.in file, so I am not sure why it is complaining.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
