Patching AddTool.patch file

[ApeachM]

Hello.

Looking at the document in docs/contrib/DeveloperGuide.md, following the Example of Adding a Tool to OpenROAD section, I would like to patch docs/misc/AddTool.patch file but the error message has occurred.

minjae@minjae-desktop:~/OpenROAD3DFlow/docs/misc$ patch -p < AddTool.patch
patch: option requires an argument -- 'p'
patch: Try 'patch --help' for more information.

I am not familiar with patch files, so I can't assume what is the problem.

If you let me know then I would be very appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi Please see https://openroad.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contrib/DeveloperGuide.html#example-of-adding-a-tool-to-openroad The patch file itself is a bit old so some updating might be needed. What new tool are you adding? Matt

I would like to add a tool for f3d, which can handle 3D IC design.
I followed the link that you gave me, but the below command

patch -p < AddTool.patch

occurred the error below.

patch: option requires an argument -- 'p'
patch: Try 'patch --help' for more information

I can't assure you that it is a problem with me or the OpenROAD repository.

Thanks for answering!

patch -p1 < docs/misc/AddTool.patch

However I do see some errors. This example is quite old and in need of updating

@vvbandeira perhaps this can be addressed as part of the docs work.
