Hi,
Trying to build the latest revision (in an existing 'coreutil' directory after
'git pull', not a fresh clone),
"./bootstrap" fails at the very end with:
build-aux/gen-single-binary.sh: 52: build-aux/gen-single-binary.sh: Bad
substitution
./bootstrap: bootstrap_post_import_hook failed
Line 52 of "build-aux/gen-single-binary.sh" has:
eval "$var='$oldvalue "${value//\'/\'\"\'\"\'}"'"
Which I guess is a non-posix standard parameter expansion ( $(VAR//} works in
bash but not in dash ).
As an ugly work-around, modifying "gen-single-binary.sh" from "#!/bin/sh" to
"#!/bin/bash" avoids the problem - so this is likely the culprit.
- Assaf
P.S.
"gen-single-binary.sh" also doesn't have copyright or license statement - don't
know if that's intentional or not.
