[yocto] New error in 1.7

[peterengcomau001 at adam.com.au]

This is new territory for me.

I have created the following patch
diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac
--- a/configure.ac
+++ b/configure.ac
@@ -16 +16 @@ AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR([libop/op_config.h])
-AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
+AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([foreign])

but i get the error

ERROR: Command Error: exit status: 1  Output:

Hunk #1 FAILED at 16.

if I delete the  @@ line I get the following error.

 ERROR: Command Error: exit status: 1  Output:

Can you direct me to some information that describes the exact syntax
for creating patches?
Thanks
Lachlan

 The patch to oprofile is just an example of what you need to do to
solve this 
 type of issue - you need to make a similar change to the failing
recipe 
 (gstreamer1.0-plugins-hantro in this instance).

 Cheers,
