Summary: labrun OS Comment bug under FreeBSD
Initial Comment:
(I am aware that you do not support FreeBSD `officially',
but I thought it might interest you anyway. I just started
the tutorial out of interest, but if I find any more bugs with
easy solutions I will submit them here if you don't mind. If
I decide to use Explab seriously I'd be willing to help
make the programs portable to FreeBSD.)
I run FreeBSD and I just installed Explab. When I tried to
run labrun, it died with the mysterious error message
labrun: Error reading file 'hst35183.phys.uu.nl'
(that is my hostname). I went through the sources and
tracked the problem to the standard OS comment which
is:
output.append("OS=`uname -srv`")
But uname -srv produces on my machine:
FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE #0: Wed
Apr 9 10:27:28 CEST 2003
ro...@hs...:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/JW-HST35183
As you can see this includes a `@' and labrun interpreted
this as a file reference to a file that (of course) doesn't
exist.
A simple workaround for me is to remove the v from the
uname options:
149c149
< output.append("OS=`uname -sr`")
---
> output.append("OS=`uname -srv`")
Because then uname returns:
FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE
which is pretty harmless.
A more lasting approach would of course be to add an `if
OS[-3:]=="BSD":' switch.
Or to create some way to quote the output from uname,
but I can imagine that is much harder to do.
I hope this helps.
