Hi,

I'm trying to update my version of lazarus using the nightly diff file but am having some difficulty.

Now I must admit that this is all new to me so it may be my own fault.

I downloaded the base version 14/6/2002 and the diff from the website. I then downloaded the windows version 2.54 of the GNU patch utility.

I uncompressed lazarus to C:\LAZARUS the uncompressed the Diff file "LAZARUS_2002-06-14_2002-09-11.DIFF" into the same directory. Also to make things easy I copied PATCH.EXE into that directory.

after checking the help "patch --help" I ran with the command line:

Patch --batch -p2 < LAZARUS_2002-06-14_2002-09-11.DIFF

All was going well until I got this:

patching file components/synedit/synedithighlighter.pp Hunk #2 #3 succeeded at 660 (offset 1 line).
Hunk #5 succeeded at 841 (offset 1 line).
Hunk #7 succeeded at 983 (offset 1 line).
1 out of 7 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file
components/synedit/synedithighlighter.pp.rej
patching file components/synedit/synhighlightercpp.pp patching file components/synedit/synhighlighterhtml.pp patching file components/synedit/synhighlighterlfm.pas Hunk #2 #3 succeeded at 123 (offset 1 line).
1 out of 4 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file
components/synedit/synhighlighterlfm.pas.rej
patching file components/synedit/synhighlighterpas.pp Assertion failed: hunk, file patch.c, line 343

At which point it bombs out, I'm lost as to why it's doing this. so could anyone who's used the diff under windows give me some pointers as to what's wrong?

Thanks for your time.

Ok, latest attemmpt:

Extracted lazarus to D:\FPC\PROJECTS\LAZARUS

Placed LAZARUS_2002-06-14_2002-09-11.DIFF in D:\FPC along with patch.exe

Ran the command PATCH -p0 < LAZARUS_2002-06-14_2002-09-11.DIFF

Got the same errors

Hunk #2 #3 succeeded at 660 (offset 1 line).
Hunk #5 succeeded at 841 (offset 1 line).
Hunk #7 succeeded at 983 (offset 1 line).
1 out of 7 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file

I'm beginning to think it may be the version of patch I'm using, but I'm open to any other suggestions.

If anyone knows the version of patch I should be using please let me know or if possible email the file to me.

thanks

well first, you should only have to do a

patch -p0 < LAZARUS_2002-06-14_2002-09-11.DIFF

Hunk #2 FAILED at 39. Hunk #2 FAILED at 53. 1 out of 4 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file Assertion failed: hunk, file patch.c, line 343

trying it your way I get similar errors.. so definately lose the --batch, and switch to -p0
