Comment 42 for bug 187290

Did exactly that with Tortoise, but thanks for the warning.

To be sure what was going on, I right clcked on io/sys.h and selected "create patch", then when it comes up to select which files you can do a preview. This allows you to see what has previously been patched in since SVN checkout.

Building now on XP SP2 from a clean setup with all previous patches just added. Should be done in about 30 minutes. No complaints in build so far.

Something to keep an eye on. Just before this I did a build with the March 3 libs (without the comment 39 patch) plus the patched cairo files from Adrian. It seemed to build OK, but when I go to run "Report a Bug", I get the following;

========
Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed. The script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will not be as expected.

python: can't open file 'D:\Download\Multimedia\Image\Inkscape\compiling\SVN\branches\Copy': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
========

This reflects on the earlier patches for path, and suggests to me that it can't handle paths with spaces, because that path should end with 'Copy of RELEASE_0_46_BRANCH\inkscape". The space after 'Copy' has confused it. Yes I know the path is a bit messy, but that's from running multiple Checkout directories. If you copy an existing Tortoise directory to a new one, it is copied with all the settings (ticks, crosses etc) in place. You probably knew that.

Will test again when this build is finished.
