Hello.
bug-fileutils is the wrong place for questions about eCos and patch. You
should ask on the mailing lists for those software packages, whatever
they are.

Hi all,
We are trying to install eCos.
eCos-gcc version is 2.95
It is giving problem while giving following command in cygwin:
$ tr -d '\r' < /home/abc/ecos_installable/gnu_tools/ecos-gcc-2952.pat | patch -p0 /home/abc/ecos_installable/gnu_tools/gcc/gcc-2.95.2/contrib/egcs_updat
e --touch
patch: unrecognized option `--touch'
patch: Try `patch --help' for more information.

I suspect the patch in Cygwin is not recent enough to support the
"--touch" option. I don't know which version does. patch on my RedHat
Linux 8.0 system does not support "--touch":
address@hidden rich]$ patch --touch
patch: unrecognized option `--touch'
patch: Try `patch --help' for more information.
address@hidden rich]$ patch --version
patch 2.5.4

Maybe it will work, if you remove the "--patch" option?
If not, perhaps you could use patchutils (search on
<http://freshmeat.net/>) to extract a list of the files modified by the
patch and touch them manually. I think there is a program in patchutils
to do this. E.g.:
tr -d '\r' < /home/abc/ecos_installable/gnu_tools/ecos-gcc-2952.pat \
| patch -p0 /home/abc/.../egcs_update
some-utility-from-patchutils /home/abc/.../egcs_update | xargs touch
I shortened the path to the patch for readability. Replace
"some-utility-from-patchutils" as appropriate.
Hope that helps, bye, Rich =]
