Hi Josh,
I know you said “unbundled”, but how about the Cygwin
version?
I just downloaded base-3.14.12.1 and then applied the cygwin-path.patch
using the latest Cygwin version of patch and it worked fine.
rivers@Rivers-Mobile /cygdrive/c/EPICS/base-3.14.12.1
# patch -p0 < cygwin-path.patch
patching file src/tools/EPICS/Path.pm

Subject: 'Patch' tool for windows
Has anyone found an unbundled Patch tool which works properly for
Windows?
I've tried the gwin32 version of patch (which shows as "patch
2.5.9" when 'patch -v' is executed), invoking it as:
patch -p0 < file.patch
this fails with this rather cryptic message:
"Hunk #1 FAILED at 266"
and then dies
Searching on the internet lead me down the path of unix vs. windows
line termination woes, but attempts at conversion did not yield a patch file
that worked.
Any ideas? It would be wonderful to be able to apply the patches as
shown in the "known problems" section of base.
