Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: build Group: release 1.34.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: eponym (eponym) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: top-level configure is broken Initial Comment: The top-level configure script in the RC1.34.0 release is broken. This script starts out as: #!/bin/sh which implies that it is a Bourne-shell script. But now almost all of tests in the file have been converted to look like the following: 220 if test "x$LIBDIR" == x; then 221 LIBDIR="$EPREFIX/lib" 222 fi where (in 1.33.1) they used to look like this: 217 if test "x$LIBDIR" = "x" ; then 218 LIBDIR="$EPREFIX/lib" 219 fi The problem is that "==" is not a valid Bourne-shell test-command operator, so the entire build breaks immediately on any platform which uses a true Bourne shell as sh. The fix is to either convert all of these operators to "=", or to stop claiming the script is a Bourne shell script and use "#!/bin/bash" instead. But the latter approach is not recommended because there are many older machines without bash in that location. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=107586&aid=1598141&group_i... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
