how to apply patch the compiler

[Dante Leoncini]

(translated with google)

I'm trying to apply a patch but can not find anything that works .
This is the patch https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-20964

the file is a txt "diff.txt" I do not understand how to use a patch in txt format

you have to convert it to "patch "?
You can also apply this ?
try using GnuWin32

You don't need to convert anything. Just call git apply diff.txt in the repo directory.

not because failure patch . place it in the root directory of the project. The repository download it zipped and unzipped format.

Hi,

Might be a silly question but… Against which version of Qt3D are you trying to apply the patch ?

[Dante Leoncini]

@SGaist not the version number . I guess it's the first that came to Qt 4.8. It works well on Linux and Windows but fails to compile for symbian and I'm sure it is for this bug https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-20964

[Dante Leoncini]

The patch came and applied. try to apply it manually and it seems that that fails.

I do not understand why still fails to compile if the patch applied . but since that's another topic
