Seeing this I was intrigued, and posted a short 'my 2 cents'
in STR 2028.
The patch for the $(basename) doesn't fly on an SGI with the
stock bourne shell. IIRC, the $(command) stuff, nice as it is,
is I think a relatively newish bash thing, not old style bourne.
The V2 patch Alvin submitted seems more portable, using \"
instead of '.
From the STR:
----------------------------------------------------------------
*** Fedora 3 /bin/sh ***
sh-3.00# compile="/some/path/Foo Bar.cxx"
sh-3.00# prog=$(basename "$compile" .cxx)
sh-3.00# echo $prog
Foo Bar <-- GOOD
*** IRIX 6.5 /bin/sh ***
# compile="/some/path/Foo Bar.cxx"
# prog=$(basename "$compile" .cxx)
# echo $prog
$(basename /some/path/Foo Bar.cxx .cxx) <-- BLARG
----------------------------------------------------------------
The V2 patch Alvin posted seems to work on both platforms, eg:
# prog="`basename \"$compile\" .cxx`"
# echo $prog
Foo Bar
