Ultrix 4.4 on a DEC 5240 (MIPS) - C compiler irrelevant - fails in sed in shell
script.
>Description:
I'm just reporting a recurrence of a problem which appears to have been exactly
described by PR 3690 (still open) at Apache 1.3.4 - sorry if this is not an
appropriate thing for me to do, but this is a later Apache release so I figured
it may be relevant to do this.
Here's what happens to me :-
# sh5 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache
Configuring for Apache, Version 1.3.6
+ using installation path layout: Apache (config.layout)
Creating Makefile
Creating Configuration.apaci in src
Creating Makefile in src
+ configured for ULTRIX platform
+ setting C compiler to cc
+ setting C pre-processor to cc -E
+ checking for system header files
command garbled: s/\([^\]\)"/\1/g
sh: htconf.5795.5: cannot open
+ adding selected modules
+ doing sanity check on compiler and options
Creating Makefile in src/support
Creating Makefile in src/main
Creating Makefile in src/ap
Creating Makefile in src/regex
Creating Makefile in src/os/unix
Creating Makefile in src/modules/standard
>How-To-Repeat:
Just run "sh5 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache" on Ultrix 4.4 with Apache
1.3.6.
>Fix:
In PR 3690 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said :-
"(filter sed has a small "problem" with regular expressions).
Therefore it is necessary to slightly modify script ./src/Configure
this error message is displayed:
command garbled: s/\([^\]\)"/\1/g
sh: htconf.11251.5: cannot open
and file ./src/include/ap_config_auto.h will not be generated
Fix:
Replace
tmpstr=`echo $CFLAGS $TEXTRA_CFLAGS |\
sed -e 's;[ ]-;!-;g' -e 's/\\\"/\"/g' -e 's/\([^\\]\)"/\1/g'`
by
tmpstr=`echo $CFLAGS $TEXTRA_CFLAGS |\
sed -e 's;[ ]-;!-;g' -e 's/\\\"/\"/g' -e 's/\([^\\\]\)"/\1/g'`
(e.g., one more backslash should be added in the third expression for sed)"
and this certainly seems to have worked for me.
