meanjeanslo Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Sorry, but I've been doing searches all over the place and can't seem to find the answer to this question. I found an add-on that I want to use, but I have to include some patches and i have no idea how to run a patch. I'm using a WAMP Server 2.0 (Apache 2.2.11, PHP 5.2.9-2, MySQL 5.1.33) on a Windows XP test machine. I found something online regarding GnuWin32 patch program, which I installed but now don't know where it is or how to use it. The documentation doesn't help at all since I need a Patch for Dummies book. Can somebody please enlighten me before I completely lose my mind?
Guest Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 if you are trying to install a contribuiton you compare the original program with the addon while following the instructions. i use beyond compare for this.

The instructions for the patch go something like this and that is as much as I get. ********* Modify /catalog/product_info.php using the included patch: cd /catalog patch -b < product_info.php.patch ********* Thanks for the Beyond Compare information, though. I'll try it and then may just give up on this add-on all together. :blink:

If you are on Windows I believe you can use something called Cygwin to use those commands.
