patching GCC 3.2.2 for RTEMS

[Harris, Andrew]

Hi -

I'm trying to build the cross compilation tools for linux as specified in
the "Getting Started with RTEMS for C/C++ Users" guide, Edition 4.6.0pre4,
for 4.6.0pre4 dated 25 January 2003.

I am trying to follow the section 4.1.3 "Applying RTEMS Patches", the Apply
RTEMS Patch to GCC part.

I don't use "patch" very often, but I believe there was an error because of
the following output:


--- begin output

[harriaj1 at pryor]$ cat ../../archive/gcc-3.2.2-rtems-20030326.diff |

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

I am not sure what's wrong.  I tried both the gcc-3.2.2 tar file from the
GNU site, as specified in the getting started manual instructions, but also
noticed that the same components were available at ftp.rtems.com (note that
the instructions in the getting started manual are incorrect because
ftp.oarcorp.com gave me connection refused).

I am wondering if I might have an older version of "patch" or some other
dumb problem.  Or perhaps I'm not using "patch" correctly?

Any help would be appreciated,
-andrew
