I'm posting this to two mailing lists because of the environment.

You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
If you really wish to overwrite the old port of textproc/libxml2
without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
in your environment or the "make install" command line.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/textproc/libxml2.
There seems to be a conflict here.
I also want to post a patch sent to me for bin86. I don't know the original
source but would like to see it added. It will help x86 builds on amd64 hosts.
I was asked to share it.

My pleasure. The 'patch' program has a zillion confusing options because
it has morphed many times from its original incarnation, but the '-p' flag
is the main one to understand.
I didn't make the patch I posted, but this is how I would have done it:
#cd /tmp (or wherever you prefer)
#tar -xvzf /path/to/bin86-0.16.17.tar.gz
#cd bin86-0.16.17 (customary to generate patches from the top directory)
#cp ld/x86_aout.h ld/x86_aout.h.orig (the usual naming, but arbitrary)
#vi ld/x86_aout.h (make the needed changes and save them)
#diff -u ld/x86_aout.h.orig ld/x86_aout.h > /tmp/mynewpatch
Now, look at the beginning of mynewpatch:
--- ld/x86_aout.h.orig 2003-01-28 17:17:14.000000000 -0500
+++ ld/x86_aout.h 2005-05-07 22:40:05.000000000 -0400
That's important because it tells you I made the patch from the top of
the source directory, but that's a tradition that not everyone obeys.
Applying a patch is the mirror image of making a patch, so you need to
know where to be in the source directory before you apply it. Hence,
the -p flag is critical.
This is how I would apply this particular patch:
#cd /tmp (see the mirror image process already?)
#tar -xvzf /path/to/bin86-0.16.17.tar.gz
#cd bin86-0.16.17
#patch -p0 < /path/to/mynewpatch (there's that -p flag at last!)
That -p0 tells 'patch' that you are now in the same directory where
the patch was first generated. If you instead chose to be in the
/tmp/bin86-0.16.17/ld directory when applying the patch, you would
use -p1 instead of -p0.
That's just a clue. You need to read the patch manpage for the rest!
Please do pass this post on to anyone/everyone you think needs help.
That's what opensource is all about. Let me know if you're still
confused."
On my own behalf, forgive me if I am a bit confusing; but, I am diving head
first into a development environment I have little experience with.
How do I solve the xml2 conflict listed above the patch?
