-----------------------------------
Summary: bashisms in jena-sdb/bin/make_classpath
Key: JENA-1120
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-1120
Project: Apache Jena
Issue Type: Bug
Components: SDB
Affects Versions: Jena 3.0.1
Environment: Ubuntu 12.04
Reporter: Osma Suominen
Assignee: Osma Suominen
The script make_classpath is called indirectly by the SDB command line
utilities. The shebang line sets it to be interpreted using /bin/sh but parts
of the script seem to rely on bash-specific features. On Ubuntu and Debian
systems at least, /bin/sh is nowadays often symlinked to dash which only
implements the POSIX standard parts (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh
for background).
This leads to errors such as this one:
{noformat}
$ sdbinfo
/home/oisuomin/sw/jena-sdb-3.1.0-SNAPSHOT/bin/make_classpath: 63:
/home/oisuomin/sw/jena-sdb-3.1.0-SNAPSHOT/bin/make_classpath: Bad substitution
Error: Could not find or load main class sdb.sdbinfo
{noformat}
The simple fix is to change the interpreter to /bin/bash and I will do that
very soon.
