scripts/cfg_path.sh appears to be new, and I have problems
with it:
o /bin/sh on Solaris uses '^' as an alternate pipe operator,
so its use must be quoted in shell commands.
o In POSIX:
File that you are currently viewing
Linkname: sed
URL: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/sed.html
I read:
Regular Expressions in sed
The sed utility shall support the BREs described in the Base
Definitions volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 9.3, Basic
Regular Expressions, ...
where
Link that you currently have selected
Linkname: Section 9.3, Basic Regular Expressions
URL:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap09.html#tag_09_03
does not provide for the use of "+" or "\+" as a repetition
factor in BREs; only in EREs. scripts/cfg_path.sh didn't work
for me on any of z/OS, OS X, or Solaris.
The attached patch fixes these.
o Also, POSIX allows shell to be at either /bin/sh or /usr/bin/sh;
it is not guaranteed to be at the former. So "#!/bin/sh" may
fail. I did not encounter any problem with this.
Beyond that, scripts/cfg_path.sh and scripts/install-cfg.sh
seem to have a duplication of function; in my case even
contention. As I was attempting to test the repaired
cfg_path.sh, install-cfg.sh kept reinserting the bad lines
from previous attempts. I finally edited makefile.in and
removed any use of install-cfg.sh (no patch submitted).
Otherwise, I have good installs on:
powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.0
sparc-sun-solaris2.8
Build still in progress:
i370-ibm-openedition
Thanks,
