Re: Where is patch?

Hooray!


Thanks ;-)

1) You didn't say if you've run "make install" yet though, you should do that
rather than attempting to manually copy all the files to their correct
locations.


I tried a just to copy patch.exe. Then I saw this that I just wish I did not. Here is a copy and paste from my screen output (a bit truncated):

>>>>>> from my screen >>>>>>>>>

/cygdrive/d/dl/gnu/patch-2.5.9 > cp patch.exe /usr/local/bin/

patch 2.5.8
...
/cygdrive/d/dl/gnu > patch.exe --version
patch 2.5.9
...
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

After a while it reported 2.5.9. I am not sure about the reason. I started another copy of Cygwin in another window. I also changed PATH, but I am not sure in which order now.

I am starting Cygwin in a cmd.ex console window.

Is this behaviour known? Should it be like this? Or is there perhaps something wrong with my pc?
