It seems that this question has already been asked here.

There are 3 possible root causes to this empty error:

  1. the patch file is empty (or is invalid so the patch data appears to be empty)
  2. the patch is not applied to the correct directory
  3. the patch file uses absolute paths instead of relative ones

Additionally, I suggest you to run the patch command with the --verbose option in command line to apply your patch, and check the output.
