Patch releases fix bugs without changing any features, so you should normally use the latest patch release for the version of Tk that you want. - Patch releases are available in two forms. A file like - tk8.0p1.tar.Z is a complete release for patch level 1 of Tk - version 8.0. If there is a file with a higher patch level than - this release, just fetch the file with the highest patch level - and use it. - - Patches are also available in the form of patch files that just - contain the changes from one patch level to another. These - files have names like tk8.0p1.patch, tk8.0p2.patch, etc. They - may also have .gz or .Z extensions to indicate compression. To - use one of these files, you apply it to an existing release with - the "patch" program. Patches must be applied in order: - tk8.0p1.patch must be applied to an unpatched Tk 8.0 release - to produce a Tk 8.0p1 release; tk8.0p2.patch can then be - applied to Tk 8.0p1 to produce Tk 8.0p2, and so on. To apply an - uncompressed patch file such as tk8.0p1.patch, invoke a shell - command like the following from the directory containing this - file (you may need to replace "patch -p" with "patch -p0" - depending on your version of the patch program): - patch -p < tk8.0p1.patch - If the patch file has a .gz extension, it was compressed with - gzip. To apply it, invoke a command like the following: - gunzip -c tk8.0p1.patch.gz | patch -p - If the patch file has a .Z extension, it was compressed with - compress. To apply it, invoke a command like the following: - zcat tk8.0p1.patch.Z | patch -p - If you're applying a patch to a release that has already been - compiled, then before applying the patch you should cd to the - "unix" subdirectory and type "make distclean" to restore the - directory to a pristine state. Once you've done this, change to the "unix" subdirectory if you're compiling under UNIX, "win" if you're compiling under Windows, or |
