Makefile: Trouble with EXTRA_PATCHES

[Brian Kee]

Well, I found a fairly simple solution the problem. If I manually modify the 
patch file and add the correct relative path to the file listing in the top 
couple of lines within the patch file. 
 e.g.
 -- filetopatch.c
changed to
-- src/filetopatch.c
 the problem corrects itself. 
 So, I now have two options. 
1. I can contact the maintainer of this patch and have him make these 
corrections.
2. Somehow figure out how to directly modify this file from within the 
Makefile.
 Any suggestions on how this can be accomplished within the Makefile?
Maybe a post-extract or pre-patch command? I see some referenced command 
within bsd.port.mk <http://bsd.port.mk>, but I do not see them defined 
anywhere.
