#181: tac command missing in OSX ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- Reporter: kyngchaos | Owner: [email protected] Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: 6.3.1 Component: default | Version: 6.3.0 Resolution: | Keywords: v.in.garmin, v.in.mapgen ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- Comment (by kyngchaos):
Replying to [comment:2 hamish]: > Can the Mac build provide a copy of tac somehow? (or just automatically apply the 'tail -r' patches with your build..) I ''could'' provide a copy or patch it in my binary, but that's just a packager's solution, and those who build from source would still have to deal with it somehow. tac is annoying in that it's part of a GNU bundle, core-utilities, I couldn't find only tac source. And my first quick-n-dirty attempt to compile it failed. How about testing for the -r flag, as I mentioned? A non-existent option on OSX returns `tail: illegal option xxx` plus a usage string with the available flags. What about other versions of tail? Or can you thing of a good way to test for the flag? If anything, I could test for uname=Darwin (tho that's awfully specific). -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/181#comment:3> GRASS GIS <http://grass.osgeo.org>
