That specific issue is pretty easy to fix. For example,
export jplatform=`uname |awk '{print tolower($0)}'` could become export jplatform=${jplatform-`uname |awk '{print tolower($0)}'`} That way, jplatform could be predefined for cross compilation: jplatform=Darwin make But, of course, for this to make sense, the script itself would have to work on multiple platforms in the first place... -- Raul On Sun, Feb 4, 2018 at 9:03 PM, bill lam <bbill....@gmail.com> wrote: > Just had a culsory look only, the patch uses uname to detect > platform.
