[PLUG] Manually applying patches

[Rich Shepard]

   I found an old patch file for mdbtools-0.5, but it calls source from a
no-longer-existing cvs repository. I guess that my two options are to change
that line to the local source directory or apply the patches manually.

   The latter will not take long, but I'm having difficulty interpreting the
.diff file contents. For example, the first patch is for mdbsql.h:

RCS file: /cvsroot/mdbtools/mdbtools/include/mdbsql.h,v
retrieving revision 1.4
diff -r1.4 mdbsql.h
16a17
> 	int max_rows;
42c43
< char *g_input_ptr;
---
> extern char *g_input_ptr;
61c62,63
< 
---
> int mdbsql_run_query(MdbSQL *sql, char *mybuf);
> void mdb_sql_set_maxrow(MdbSQL *sql,int aMaxrow);

   I read the first change as adding at line 16 (making it then line 17), int
max_rows. Then change line 42 (now 43) by removing char *g_input_ptr and
adding extern char *g_input_ptr. Finally, row 61 is removed and the
following two lines added. Is this correct?

TIA,

Rich
