in thread UMMF perl script execution..

Hi,

Can you pls explain how this patch will resolve my problem?

Because, the sample patch run that you have showed seems to be taking a diff between some old version of UMMF's filesdir file and the newer version of the same. But the error that i am getting states that a template file that's used for Perl code generation is missing (for some reason). So, shouldn't I be thinking in terms of finding out where I can get that template file and then insert it into my UMMF?

I am not able to correlate how patch in this case will resolve my problem.

Please advise. Also, any idea where I can get the template file that I need?

        No. Learn to read , follow instructions, copy/paste -- you can't possibly be this clueless

      Actually, you can say that I am clueless. And that is the reason why I had earlier mentioned that i don't quite get the relevance of this solution to my problem.

      I am not able to understand the syntax/usage of patch; I am not able to find any help docs on the patch/gnuwin32 website either.

      So, I am not sure what exactly I am doing wrong.

      From the snippet you had shown, it looked like the patch utility was trying to patch in the diff between the new version of UMMF into the older version of the same. But i have doubts around that - if we have a new version of UMMF, then hwy not just use it? Why should we patch in the diff into the older version?

      please help.

        You're not reading closely, and you're not copy/paste-ing 

        cd UMMF-1.02
patch -p1 < path/to/patchfile

        we have .. should we ...

        Have you self-replicated? How'd you do that!?
