Query - How to apply patch to uClinux-dist directory

[purushotam rao]

R/ Sir,

My name is U.Purushotham Rao. To carryout my project I am using
"uClinux-dist-20090618.tar.bz2" package. This package is having patch file
"uClinux-dist-20090618-20091129.patch". To apply the patch I used the
following procedure.

#cd /usr
#tar -xvjf uClinux-dist-20090618.tar.bz2
   This created "uClinux-dist" directory.
   Patch file" uClinux-20090618-20091129.patch" is located in /usr
directory.

# patch -d /usr/uClinux-dist/
   This command has not given any output. So used the following command
option.

#patch -p1 /usr/uClinux-dist
   This command also not given any output.

#patch -i /usr/uClinux-dist
    This command given the error message as "patch: **** read error : Is a
directory"

Can you please guide me How to apply patch to the uClinux-dist directory.
