Um.. when it says 'file to patch', it means it wants the name of a file to apply the patch /to/, not the file to read the patch /from/. There are some requirements about relative paths in the diff file that I entirely glossed over when I mentioned adding patches to the files directory; unfortunately not all patches will 'just work' (tm). [[ Do this next bit after unpacking the distfiles but before building the port. ie. after running these commands: # cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/dwm # make clean ; make extract ]] For your purposes, first work out how to apply the patch by hand -- ie. running some variant of the command lines # cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/dwm/work # patch -p0 < ~/downloads/dwm.defaultopacity.patch However, it seems the patch you've obtained is somehow corrupt. If it's not too long, you could post it here, or put it on the web somewhere for people to look at (pastebin springs to mind). Once the patch applies cleanly you should be able to continue with building and installing the port as usual: # cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/dwm # make ; make install If you want the low-down on adding patches to a port, start by reading this section of the Porter's Handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/slow-pa= tch.html Then take a look at the handy patchtool helper script in /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/patchtool.py -- the README.patchtool file in that directory will be more accessible if you aren't fluent in python.
