Directory structure: Sources: /mnt/lfs/sources Patches: /mnt/lfs/sources/patches Unpacked Sources: /home/lfs/packagename Build Directory: /home/lfs/packagename-build Command: cd /home/lfs/packagename patch -Np1 -i /mnt/lfs/sources/patches/"patchname" > When I run the command, as in > the book, from the sources dir it can't find the patch so I'm not > getting something here. If you are in the sources directory you will be running something like "patch -Np1 -i ../blah" the reason it's not finding the patch file is you're looking in "$LFS" for the file not "$LFS/sources". Even if you find the file (patch -Np1 ./blah) it won't work; you need to be in the source directory of the program you're trying to patch for patch to find the files that it's trying to patch, at least with the current flags.
