a) I got the zip file from tel2096@proximity.senecac.on.ca
b) got the .mozconfig from the dps909 thursday class
c) ran the build successfully (45mins or so later)
d) Time to start the incremental build; i made a change to a file (nsHttpBasicAuth.cpp). ; did a make on a parallel directory as instructed by the lab directions
$ cvs diff -u8p . > patch.txt
and heres a print screen of the output patch file I got.
highlighted in light blue is the changes that i put in as per the labs instructions.
e) Well time to add someone elses patch to it and see what happens. I was able to get vincent lams patch and use it to try and apply his patch. well no problems here as well.
f) Well i did do the revert patch to see if it would work; and it worked fine. Did not have any problems there
g)NOW THIS IS WHERE I HAD PROBLEMS! Trying to apply a real patch!! from Mike Shaver
Again I followed instructions to the T. But I ran into this problem; heres a print screen of what I ran into
Seems like we have a different version of the build of Firefox that Mike Shaver used; since its asking for a file to patch? or am i missing something? Any ideas suggestions?

You need to apply it from within the xpcom/ directory. :) Take a look at the different file paths listed in the patch, and see if you can figure out how you'd go about determining that in the future.
