1 bunzip2 the patch.

2 in your freeciv source directory execute
patch -p1 < <...>/civworld-1.14.1.diff-against-freeciv
where <...> is the path to the patch.

3 in the freeciv source directory execute
./autogen.sh && make
you can give your normal options to ./autogen.sh (generally you won't need
any), but you must compile the gtk 1.2 client (which it does by default)
_and_ you must also compile the server (or at least its object files).

What excactly are you trying to accomplish?

I'm guessing that you trying to apply the "CivWorld map editor-patch" to the source tree and compile it?

im trying to edit maps

Ok, then I understand why you are confused

What the above steps describe is how to apply the the map patch to the freeciv source and then compile it on a *nix system.

Source = source code written by the developers, you can't run this directly.
compile = translate from source code to machine language, which your computer can execute (run).
patch = a piece of source code which in this case adds the functionality of map editing to freeciv.
compiler = the program that compile the code.

What OS are you running? If you are running windows compiling freeciv can be kind of tricky.

I don't remember if the map-editor are available in win32 binary releases, but I don't think so. Per?

Did this make any sense at all?
