How do I add the new patch to my GNU/Linux computer?

I can't believe I didn't ask this with the time I have, but can someone tell me how I can slipstream the newest patch to my GNU/Linux computer?

I'm referring to the DIFF file on the main web page.

To apply a diff, you must be set up to build dosbox from source code and not using a binary version from elsewhere.

You cd to the directory holding the source code (i.e., source should be inside it), then run patch < /path/to/diff-file.diff

It will tell you if it was successful or not, and then you can recompile.
