Dear Maintainer,
In configure, the Makefile is generated using:
sed -e "s%@cc@%${MYCC}%; ... s%@LDFLAGS@%${MYLDFLAGS}%; ..." < Makefile.in >
Makefile
using '%' as the delimiter. When build flags contain '%' (such as URL-encoded
parameters in -Wl,--package-metadata or custom flags), the substitution breaks:
sed: -e expression #1, char 777: unknown option to `s'
Fix:
Switch the delimiter from '%' to '|' in configure across the sed substitution
lines.
The patch is attached.
Description: Switch sed delimiter from '%' to '|' in configure
Hand-written configure uses '%' as delimiter for Makefile substitutions.
If compiler or linker flags contain '%' (such as -Wl,--package-metadata
or URL-encoded options), sed parsing breaks. Switch the delimiter to '|'
across the substitutions.
