Hello list,
on my Solaris 10, for some unknown reason, /sometimes/ config.status is
generated with "#! /bin/sh" shebang, instead of bash. When this happens,
the configure script prints ugly messages but *succeeds*, but then gmake
fails miserably because of malformed Makefile. Here are the message
config.status prints, when it runs under /bin/sh:
$ ./config.status
./config.status: print: not found
./config.status: print: not found
./config.status: print: not found
[ ... lots of the same messages ... ]
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: executing depfiles commands
config.status: executing libtool commands
I am setting CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/xpg4/bin/sh to work-around this. However I
am trying to fix this at the same time, since Solaris /bin/sh should work,
as it's a bourne shell.
I'm trying to fix the generated code in config.status to work with the
printf statement from /bin/sh (instead if inexistent print). I can see
that first print is tried, then printf, then echo. Besides the generated
files, where is the relevant source file in autoconf source? Relevant
snippet:
if test -z "$BASH_VERSION$ZSH_VERSION" \
&& (test "X`print -r -- $as_echo`" = "X$as_echo") 2>/dev/null; then
as_echo='print -r --'
as_echo_n='print -rn --'
elif (test "X`printf %s $as_echo`" = "X$as_echo") 2>/dev/null; then
as_echo='printf %s\n'
as_echo_n='printf %s'
else
if test "X`(/usr/ucb/echo -n -n $as_echo) 2>/dev/null`" = "X-n
$as_echo"; then
Thanks,
Dimitris
