_______________________________________________________
Details:
wesnoth's configure.ac includes these lines:
# Make tests default in svn version
svn_in_version=`expr match "$WESNOTH_VERSION" '.*svn'`
test_build=yes
if test $svn_in_version = 0
then
#disabling building tests for release version
test_build=no
fi
This usage of the "expr" command is valid for GNU expr, but not BSD expr;
therefore on Mac OS X, which has BSD expr, we see this output from
configure:
checking for ranlib... ranlib
expr: syntax error
./configure: line 6260: test: =: unary operator expected
checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... yes
The configure script should be written in a more portable way such that it
does not assume GNU expr is available.
