Which patch location/folder for custom patches?

Hi,

I've succesfully built LE9 for Amlogic S812.

I had to patch a couple of files, but did that manually.

So, lets say I want to patch:

Code

systemd-235/src/libsystemd-network/sd-radv.c

where would I put the patch file, to apply the patch automatically?

packages/sysutils/systemd/patches/

Thanks for your reply.

Would projects/S812/patches/systemd/ also work?

Yes

Thanks again.

johnnydoe, you could describe the problem. Because I suspect it should happen to others too (second user already on irc).

sorry, but I don't understand?

My problem was, just to determine the correct folder for my specific patches

The main problem is that you need some extra patch.

Probably because of

FAILED: src/libsystemd-network/systemd-network@sta/sd-radv.c.o

while building systemd

/toolchain/armv7a-libreelec-linux-gnueabi/sysroot/usr/include/linux/in6.h:30:8: error: redefinition of 'struct in6_addr'

15850 – Glibc headers have conflicts with kernel headers on the definition of struct in6_addr

3.21 on Debian Wheezy - Swan

Removing include for linux/in6.h file (or maybe netinet/in.h) helps. Confirmed.

ahh, ok I understand.

Yes, that was one of my problems too, while building systemd.

I also removed "#include <linux/in6.h>" and systemd built fine.
