Yes. I use patch by redirecting the patches file to the input.


The problem that you get cr/lf at line endings is in patch.

the current patch uses NT-Environment vars (TMP or TEMP or TMPDIR). Normally the
directories that those env vars point to are accessed in textmode. Patch saves a
temporary file in TEMP, it gets cr/lf'ed then it seems to open the tmpfile again
in binmode ==> the result is a cr/lf'ed file.

I have provided a patched version as a test version in cygwin-apps, try this
version or simply unset TMP TEMP TMPDIR in your .profile

Hope that helps,

Michael Ring
