Hi,
Recently, I started to play around with patches submitted to trac and compiling xbmc from source code (on windows).
I successfully applied 1 patch and compiled xbmc with it (thanks to the wiki )
my question is in 2 part:
1- I was looking at a trac ticket that has multiple file attached to it, and I was wondering if I have to apply all the patches/diff files that are attached to it or simply a few of them. The trac ticket in question is: http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/10891
2- How should I apply the diff file to the source code? I tried to do "Apply Patch" in tortoiseGIT, but I always get a message saying "Patch format detection failed"
The patch that I successfully applied was little, I edited the files manually but the last one I,ve been looking at has more that just a few lines of code changed.
I'm really new at all this, maybe I'm doing some newbie mistakes, just seeking a little help since my googling didn't helped me much so far.
thanks for any help
