Hi Kevin,
It looks like the echo command found by libtool is removing some of the
backslashes that it is supposed to leave behind. Here is what it boils down
to:
$ echo=echo
$ foo='`'
$ quote='s/\([\\"\\`$\\\\]\)/\\\1/g'
$ double_quote='s/\([\\"\\`\\\\]\)/\\\1/g'
$ delay='s/\\\\\\\\\\\$/\\\\\\$/g'
$ eval "bar=\\\"\`\$echo \"\$foo\" | \
sed -e \"\$double_quote\" -e \"\$quote\" -e \"\$delay\"\`\\\""
And this is what I get:
$ echo $bar
"\\\`"
I guess you will get:
"\\`"
If so, we need to figure out how to find an echo command that doesn't
interpret backslashes on your machine... any ideas?
Cheers,
Gary.
