Hi, all:
This is an example of what you will find in configure scripts all
around the noosphere:
libc_ldd=`ldd /bin/sh | grep -w libc`
if test "x$libc_ldd" != "x"; then
libc=`echo $libc_ldd | sed 's:.*=>[ ]::' | sed 's:[ ].*::'`
if test "x$libc" != "x"; then
version=`$libc | grep -i version | grep -i release | grep -i library |
sed 's:[^0-9]*\([0-9][0-9]*\.[0-9][0-9]*\.[0-9][0-9]*\).*:\1:'`
if test "x$version" != "x"; then
libc_version=-libc$version
echo "$ac_t""modified Linux system type is $host$libc_version" 1>&6
fi
fi
fi
fi
What it does is determine libc version by running
/lib/libc.so.(version) and putting that through a sed one liner
that expects three version numbers. Fedora 5 right now has binaries
for /lib/libc.so.6 that give a two number version: 2.4
I have a software package with 38 configure scripts, all of which
contain this stanza, and by Paul Bunyan's beard I swear, the perl
one liner to edit all of them to change the version=... is defeating me...
Lots of developers for lots of products expect three number versions for
libc. Should Fedora perhaps return to that convention?
