Back in July, Alex Moore posted about a problem he was having builidng
mailutils 1.0 on Solaris 8.
I have seen similar problems with Sol 10, however, I now think I am some
way to nailing it down.
It would appear that on a Solaris system the part of configure that turns
MU_LIBOBJS into MU_LTLIBOBJS
fails
This seems to be the problem
S=`echo "$MU_LIBOBJS" |
tr ' ' '\n' | sort | uniq | tr '\n' ' ' |
sed 's,\.[^.]* ,$U&,g;s,\.[^.]*$,$U&,'`
MU_LTLIBOBJS=`echo "$S" |
sed 's,\.[^.]* ,.lo ,g;s,\.[^.]*$,.lo,'`
Bizzarely I ahve tried the following in the shell
%echo bong.o | tr ' ' '\n' | sort | uniq | tr '\n' ' '
bong.o %
%echo bong.o | sed 's,\.[^.]* ,$U&,g;s,\.[^.]*$,$U&,'
bong$U.o
%
however when you pipe the two together, as in the configure script,
%echo bong.o | tr ' ' '\n' | sort | uniq | ' '| sed 's,\.[^.]*
,$U&,g;s,\.[^.]*$,$U&,'
%
Solaris sed through a pipe seems to be having an effect.
Any thoughts ?
