Problem with patches in PKGBUILD

Hello

I've modified the PKGBUILD for evilwm to apply a patch to it. here's the PKGBUILD:

pkgname=evilwm-roberth
pkgver=1.0.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A minimalist but usable window manager for the X Window System."
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
conflicts=('evilwm')
provides=('evilwm')
depends=('libxext' 'libxrandr')
url="http://evilwm.sourceforge.net"
source=(http://www.6809.org.uk/evilwm/evilwm-$pkgver.tar.gz
    remove-ctrl.diff)
license=(custom)
md5sums=('aa66a68f54dda48ff3bcef23ea852e59'
     '01f5c61f66a66a63d289a201bdb4ee7c')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/evilwm-$pkgver
  diff -Np0 -i $startdir/src/remove-ctrl.diff || return 1
  /usr/bin/make || return 1
  /usr/bin/make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
  install -D -m644 README $startdir/pkg/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/README
}

Here's the output when running makepkg:

[roberth@Magda evilwm-roberth]$ makepkg
==> Entering fakeroot environment
==> Making package: evilwm-roberth 1.0.0-1 (Wed Jan  9 14:21:45 UTC 2008)

What is wrong?

Re: Problem with patches in PKGBUILD

You want to use the 'patch' command, not the 'diff' command.
