Now that I was told that the SPARC part of the fox-gate might really be
used for something, I began eating some coffee powder and am now
determined to get that merge finished soon (next days).
I'm finally in the process of systematically paging through the entire
buildit-XW logfiles in all three of my current worspaces.
And aha, some coffe powder and voila, the solution to the bash versus
Bourne /bin/sh problem with mesalibs (which normally weren't built under
SPARC before I enabled them).
Q: I wonder if nobody ever got that problem under x86??
For some strange reason
if [ -e ../../lib/libGL.so ]; then \
../../bin/minstall ../../lib/libGL* /usr/X11/lib; \
fi
### which is equivalent to ###
if test ! -e "../../lib/libGL.so"; then \
../../bin/minstall ../../lib/libGL* /usr/X11/lib; \
fi
does *not* work with Bourne shell, which is odd.
("make install" would work, if /bin/sh happened to be bash).
If we test for
*-s* FileName
### -- FileName has a size greater than 0.###
instead of
*-e* FileName -- FileName exists.
it suddenly works as expected, also with /bin/sh being the default outdated
Bourne.
As "-s" is actually much better test, than "-e", I added a patch to
/FOX/MERCURIAL_20070830thu/fox-gate__Aha_Testing__pre20070913thu/XW_NV/open-src/lib/mesa
which changes lines
