How to Apply Bottom Stack Patch to DWM?

I feel sorry for posting this, I had this same issue a December of Last Year (Old Thread - http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=61499 ), and here I am with the same problem again.  I am using dwm 5.6.1 and I am trying to apply the 5.6.1 bstack.diff  file from suckless.org.  I tried including the patch in the PKGBUILD and recompiling with makepkg -efi per the dwm wiki.  I dont get any errors.. I just dont end up with the bstack applied either.  Any clues as to what I am doing wrong?

pkgname=dwm
pkgver=5.6.1

        config.h  dwm-5.6.1-bstack.diff)
md5sums=()

build() {
  cd $srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver
  cp $srcdir/config.h config.h
  
  patch -p0 -i /home/justin/dwm/dwm-5.6.1-bstack.diff

  make X11INC=/usr/include/X11 X11LIB=/usr/lib/X11 || return 1
  make PREFIX=/usr DESTDIR=$pkgdir install || return 1

  install -m644 -D LICENSE $pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE && \
  install -m644 -D README $pkgdir/usr/share/doc/$pkgname/README
}

This is what makepkg -efi gets me.

Re: How to Apply Bottom Stack Patch to DWM?

The patch does only patch config.def.h. If you look at the bottom of the patch file, there's one tiny little new line in config.def.h with a "+" in front of it - just add that to your own customized config.h and you should be able to use the layout.

Yes, that line, exactly.
