FW: [Bug: 21.5-b27] configure errors on Solaris
Ron Isaacson writes:
cheap hack. I have no idea why this would work on Linux but fail on
Solaris, although I do note that CONFIG_SHELL ends up being /bin/bash
on Linux and /bin/ksh on Solaris, so perhaps it's something
ksh-specific. Any ideas?
Solaris is well(?)-known for this kind of failure mode (see also
/usr/ucb/bin/cc, IIRC, and everybody's favorite utility, Solaris tar).
I think we're reasonably good about keeping bash-isms out of our
configure script, but I don't think ksh is close enough to Bourne sh
to work. And there's no guarantee that Solaris's ksh is the same as
other ksh's. It might even be buggy. ;-)
I would try to force a Bourne shell. I'll see if I can find a ksh
somewhere and try that on Linux and Mac OS X.
