This makes sure it'll work on Win32 aswell as unix e.g: - - fh = open ("file", OFLAGS | O_RDONLY); - -* Use closesocket() for sockets, and close() for normal files. - -* Don't read() from sockets, instead use recv(). - -* Please provide unified format diffs (run diff -u). - -* Call your patch something more meaningfull than hexchat.diff (I get a - million of these files!). - -* To make a really nice and clean patch, do something like this: - -Have two directories, unpacked from the original archive: -hexchat-2.0.0/ -hexchat-2.0.0p1/ -Then edit/compile the hexchat-2.0.0p1 directory. When you're done, make -a patch with: - -cd hexchat-2.0.0p1 -make distclean -cd .. -diff -urN hexchat-2.0.0 hexchat-2.0.0p1 > hexchat-something.diff - -If using nmake (Windows) replace "make distclean" with "nmake -f makefile.msc clean" |
