>Number: 2654 >Category: config >Synopsis: APACI autoconfig generates broken Configure.apaci >Confidential: no >Severity: critical >Priority: medium >Responsible: apache >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: apache >Arrival-Date: Tue Jul 21 12:10:01 PDT 1998 >Last-Modified: >Originator: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Organization: apache >Release: 1.3.0 >Environment: Linux (irrelevant) where "echo" interprets the backslash by default >Description: If the "echo" command intreprets the backslash characters by default, configure will generate a broken Configure.apaci file. So, echo "\1" will actually produce the ASCII character with the code 1 instead of the string "\1". >How-To-Repeat:
>Fix: Replace all "echo" in the configure script with "echo -E". Better yet (this may break on other platforms) use a customizable variable ECHO in the script so one can edit one line to get the echo command work the way it should. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
