Problem patching MAME 0.140 source

Hi,

i've downloaded the MAME 0.140 source from www.mamedev.org along with the diff patches u1 and u2.

according to http://mamedev.org/updates.html i have to patch the source with

patch -p0 -E <diffname.diff

in the mame source tree.

unfortunately, patch then throws waaay to much errors at me:

patch -p0 <0140u1.diff

(Stripping trailing CRs from patch.)
patching file docs/config.txt
Hunk #1 FAILED at 1004.

(Stripping trailing CRs from patch.)
patching file src/version.c
Hunk #1 FAILED at 10.

what's wrong here?

given that i can almost find no documentation about compiling/patching mame under (arch)linux, i'll appreciate any help on this.

PS: compiling the 0.140 source seems to work fine.

PPS: i'm aware of sdlmame-0.140-u1 in the community repository, but i *need* the u2 patch. why is the package named sdlmame anyway? sdlmame was merged with the official mame ages ago.

Nevermind, i found the solution:

The source and patches have Windows line endings. You can make patch work with them on most recent distros using the --binary switch.

Ok, this is an old thread but maybe this method can help some users.

You can use this method:

Extract endings.zip file where the makefile lives.

Run it with

./endings

and, after that, patch command works great :-)
