#2294 Non-portable configure script
Hi,
On OpenBSD, some parts of the configure script fail, in particular:
expanded_libdir="`eval \"exec_prefix=${tmp_exec_prefix};echo ${libdir}\"`"
expanded_libexecdir="`eval \"exec_prefix=${tmp_exec_prefix};echo ${libexecdir}\"`"
expanded_datadir="`eval \"prefix=${tmp_prefix};datarootdir=${datarootdir};echo ${datadir}\"`"
expanded_infodir="`eval \"prefix=${tmp_prefix};datarootdir=${datarootdir};echo ${infodir}\"`"
Gives:
configure: no closing quote
configure: no closing quote
configure: no closing quote
configure: no closing quote
If I use bash, it works fine, but this would mean pulling bash in as a build dependency.
Would appreciate a patch. Cheers.
Marking this report as "wont-fix". I'm sorry to be unhelpful, but none of the regular developers have access to an OpenBSD environment, to the best of my knowledge. For better or worse, I can't figure out from the problem description what the problem is. We will certainly be happy to accept a patch from you which fixes the problem.
