Hello,
I just tried to configure and compile fileutils-4.0.39 under AIX 4.1.4
and got a small error (fileutils-4.0.36 hasn't that problem):
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/contrib --disable-nls \
--program-prefix=gnu
cp: illegal option -- a
Usage: cp [-fhip] [-r|-R] [--] src target
or: cp [-fhip] [-r|-R] [--] src1 ... srcN directory
checking build system type... rs6000-ibm-aix4.1.4.0
checking host system type... rs6000-ibm-aix4.1.4.0
(... lines deleted)
The reason seems to be the following code in configure
echo "#! $SHELL" >conftest.sh
echo "exit 0" >>conftest.sh
cp -a conftest.sh /tmp
chmod +x conftest.sh
The option "-a" seems to me not very portable (GNU cp specific?).
Greetings
Jens
