/bin/sh is ash in FreeBSD. In fact, stdenv on FreeBSD uses mostly BSD versions of utilities (sed, awk, grep, find, ...) which causes problems. For example, I had to install GNU sed from ports and alias "sed" to "gsed" in stdenv before ncurses would compile. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
