From 8238192652290df78bd728b20e3f6542d1a2819e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lasse Collin Date: Wed, 5 Feb 2020 19:33:37 +0200 Subject: Build: Workaround a POSIX shell detection problem on Solaris. I don't know if the problem is in gnulib's gl_POSIX_SHELL macro or if xzgrep does something that isn't in POSIX. The workaround adds a special case for Solaris: if /usr/xpg4/bin/sh exists and gl_cv_posix_shell wasn't overriden on the configure command line, use that shell for xzgrep and other scripts. That shell is known to work and exists on most Solaris systems. --- configure.ac | 10 ++++++++++ 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+) diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac index d14fa40d..c8f76e43 100644 --- a/configure.ac +++ b/configure.ac @@ -547,6 +547,16 @@ AC_SUBST([enable_path_for_scripts]) ############################################################################### echo +case $host_os in + solaris*) + # The gnulib POSIX shell macro below may pick a shell that + # doesn't work with xzgrep.
