Here a better way to explain the modifications:

chuck-1.3.3.0/src $ more patch_util_string_cpp.patch
387a388,391
> #ifndef PATH_MAX
> #include <linux/limits.h>
> #endif
>

You can apply the patch like this:

chuck-1.3.3.0/src $ patch util_string.cpp -i patch_util_string_cpp.patch -o util_string.cpp

Hey Guyz !

A minor problem in the source code for linux compilation:

util_string.cpp: In function ‘std::string get_full_path(const string&)’:
util_string.cpp:393:14: erreur: ‘PATH_MAX’ was not declared in this scope
util_string.cpp:395:42: erreur: ‘buf’ was not declared in this scope
make: *** [util_string.o] Erreur 1

Just need to add this lines in util_string.cpp at lines 387:

#ifndef PATH_MAX
#include <linux/limits.h> // for PATH_MAX definition
#endif

Enjoy,
