Hi all,

This problem has been doing my head in... First a minimal example that reflects how makepkg does things:

--one.sh--
#!/bin/bash

echo "pass 1:"
for arg in "$@"; do
 echo $arg
done
echo

ARGLIST="$@"

./two.sh $ARGLIST
--end one.sh--

--two.sh--
#!/bin/bash

echo "pass 2:"
for arg in "$@"; do
 echo $arg
done
--end two.sh--

then run:
./one.sh -f -h "foo bar"
pass 1:
-f
-h
foo bar

pass 2:
-f
-h
foo
bar


Note how in pass two, foo and bar are no longer in the one line. Of course, passing ./two.sh "$@" works, but the argument parsing in makepkg clears that, hence the need to save it to ARGLIST.

Any ideas?

Allan
