= Create the Patch =

BePorter will apply the patch in the directory where the source package was extracted. For this to work, you need to create the patch like this:

 1. Place the directory (for example, named {{{xyz-1.0.0}}}) containing the original sources in a directory of your liking
 1. Place the directory containing the patched sources in the same directory. You'll need to rename it first, of course (say {{{xyz-1.0.0-beos}}}
 1. Now create the patch with
{{{
diff -Naur xyz-1.0.0 xyz-1.0.0-beos > xyz-1.0.0.patch
}}}

Don't forget to clean your sources directories first ({{{make distclean}}}, for example).

Congratulations! The generated patch is BePorter compatible.
