hi,
I have fininished the steps before patch wxPython described in https://wiki.clamwin.com/index.php/Building_ClamWin. But when i apply patches/wxPython-2424.maskededit.patch by cygwin, it was failed. The error message is Hunk #1 FAILED at 1659. How can i fix this problem?
btw. the other two patches were sucessfully applied.

One more question, latest Microsoft Platform SDK does not support VS 6.0 anymore. Versions that support VS 6.0 are removed from microsoft website. Does it mean that i can not build ClamWin through VS 6.0?

Thanks and have a nice day.
mason

you need to examine why the patch faile by looking at .rej file.
We use VS2005 to build clamwin and VS6 is not supported, you can make it compile on VS6 with some tweaking.

here's the content in the .rej file

constraint_kwargs[param] = value

elif autoformat and not autoformat in masktags.keys():

hi Lai_mason,

--May i know how you make a patch wxPython using cygwin. Actually i'm already follow the https://wiki.clamwin.com/index.php/Building_ClamWin . These instruction a bit confuse.


clamwin/patches/wxPython-2424.maskededit.patch
clamwin/patches/wxPython-2424.throbber.patch
clamwin/patches/wxPython-2424.timectrl.patch


to each of the files

Python23\lib\site-packages\wxPython\lib\maskedctrl.py
Python23\lib\site-packages\wxPython\lib\throbber.py
Python23\lib\site-packages\wxPython\lib\timectrl.py


Basically this: patch -p1 -i clamwin/patches/wxPython-2424.maskededit.patch
patch -p1 -i clamwin/patches/wxPython-2424.throbber.patch
patch -p1 -i clamwin/patches/wxPython-2424.timectrl.patch


- Delete the files

rm Python23\lib\site-packages\wxPython\lib\*.pyc


--May you describes this steps

TQ
