Compiling stchoof
Hello everybody! (Hello Dr Mono)
For ages I've been compiling stuff from source when there's no packages available for whatever toy I want to play with and most of the time it's all ./configure make make install goodness. But occasionally the make throws up an error and I need to patch something from a diff list like this;
Now I've just been manually editing the source files and putting in the changes myself. All along thinking that there's probably a tool for doing this that I don't know about.
Bearing in mind that I'm not even remotely a coder, just a user, what's the tool that I'm thinking must exist so I can go RTFM?
