I don't know what is the GNU patch that the script is looking for...
Does anyone knows what is the patch that it is required ?
Does anyone knows where is the prereq script source? maybe if could read the script source i can figure out what is this GNU patch...
Tahnkyou!

@Miguel-Miranda maybe it needs the GNU patch application installed on the build machine?

Thanks for the reply @Douglas-Kryder.
I've already installed the GNU patch app

But I get the same error...
BR,

@Miguel-Miranda
Could it be that it needs a later version?
The patch in my ubuntu build environment is 2.7.5:

$ patch -v

Or re-run make with -j1 V=s parameters which will give you more verbose output that could identify what is going wrong.

Hi @cas thanks for the reply, i've changed my patch version to 2.7.5 but still the error

$make -j1 V=s

I think there is a problem with my toplevel.mk

it is a little weird though, because in the repository of https://github.com/WereCatf/source.git i don't have this error, instead i've a Download fail errors

I'm not sure why, but i'm keep looking... as i said before the weird think is that i didn't get stuck in the third party repo with the prereq script...
