[SOLVED] Error when automatically applying patch with makepkg.

I have been trying to apply this patch to the PKGBUILD to skip building the documentation during Linux Kernel compilation:

62d62
<   make htmldocs
190c190
< pkgname=("$pkgbase" "$pkgbase-headers" "$pkgbase-docs")
---
> pkgname=("$pkgbase" "$pkgbase-headers")

So I copied the PKGBUILD in my build/linux directory, made the modifications to it, and renamed it new. Then I generated the patch using this command:

diff --unified --recursive --text PKGBUILD new > package.patch

So now, in my build/linux directory, I had a PKGBUILD, the modified PKGBUILD, and a file named package.patch I then deleted new and added package.patch to the sources array. Then I added the following to the prepare array:

cd "$srcdir"
  patch --strip=1 --input=package.patch

Unfortunately this ends up with this error:

==> Starting prepare()...
can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|--- PKGBUILD   2021-09-19 07:17:21.000000000 -0700
|+++ new        2021-09-21 14:34:00.566741835 -0700
--------------------------
File to patch:

Can anyone point out what I am doing wrong please?
Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] Error when automatically applying patch with makepkg.

You need to specify the correct path for the patch: eg., ../$patch

Re: [SOLVED] Error when automatically applying patch with makepkg.

It already changed directories into the where the patch is located, so, no need to specify a path.

Re: [SOLVED] Error when automatically applying patch with makepkg.

The patch isn't in the source directory: that's the error message you are getting...

Read the linux PKGBUILD if you don't understand how it works.

Re: [SOLVED] Error when automatically applying patch with makepkg.

I added the patch the the source array, so it was copied to the src directory.

Re: [SOLVED] Error when automatically applying patch with makepkg.

It definitely copied:

src]$ ls
archlinux-linux  config  PKGBUILD.patch

I don't know if it matters that the PKGBUILD.patch is a link.

I also added this to my prepare array:

prepare() {
  cd "$srcdir"
  patch --strip=1 --input="${srcdir}/PKGBUILD.patch"

I get the same error.

Re: [SOLVED] Error when automatically applying patch with makepkg.

Ah, so you want `cd $srcdir/archlinux-linux` and then `patch -i ../patch`.

Why patch -i? I am trying to follow the documentation as closely as possible.

Re: [SOLVED] Error when automatically applying patch with makepkg.

It's terser than --input= so I had to type less tongue

Re: [SOLVED] Error when automatically applying patch with makepkg.

Sure, -p, if the patch requires it. You get the idea, though.

I am actually quite new to diff files. What does -p do. The doc page confused me a bit.

It's the same as --strip

Re: [SOLVED] Error when automatically applying patch with makepkg.

Unfortunately it is not solved, as when I change the line to `cd $srcdir/archlinux-linux` it tells me that there is no such file or directory. How do I make the patch file transfer into the archlinux-linux directory?

Re: [SOLVED] Error when automatically applying patch with makepkg.

What is the name of the directory in $srcdir once the tarball is extracted? And paste the PKGBUILD,

Re: [SOLVED] Error when automatically applying patch with makepkg.

So, this is just the vanilla arch PKGBUILD? Then you don't need to cd to $srcdir as you are setting srcname. Just use the existing function for local src to apply the *.patch file.

Ok, I replaced 'cd $_srcname' with 'cd $srcdir/archlinux-linux' and received this message:

Re: [SOLVED] Error when automatically applying patch with makepkg.

You are trying to patch the PKGBUILD that you are running makepkg against?

Re: [SOLVED] Error when automatically applying patch with makepkg.

You can not patch a PKGBUILD form within a PKGBUILD.  You apply the patch manually, then run makepkg.

Re: [SOLVED] Error when automatically applying patch with makepkg.

Just manually edit the PKGBUILD and run makepkg. You would only need a patch if you were using a scripted build.
