Re: [OctDev] octave-forge on solaris 8

[Dmitri A. S. <das...@gm...>]

FWIW:

I would recommend to install gnu version even of those utils
which are provided with Solaris 8. perl, sed, and, as you found, grep
are some of the examples.
Also, Solaris' /bin/sh is not POSIX compliant, so you may want to
replace
SHELL=/bin/sh
with
SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash
in a couple makefile/makeconf scripts

You can get most of the stuff at www.sunfreeware.com

Sincerely,

Dmitri.
