Before starting to code:
Update your CVS tree, or alternatively download the latest snapshot
Copy this original tree, so you can make a patch against this tree
Before creating the patch:
Run make distclean && ./configure && make
and test if it runs successfully
If you have the possibility do this both with gcc-2.95
and gcc-3.x
as compiler
Now create the patch. Assuming that you have two directories, original-tree
and my-tree
:
Run make distclean
in both trees
cd to the parent directory of both trees
Run diff -Naur original-tree my-tree | bzip2 -9c > patchbla.diff.bz2
