Re: non-xpg4 compliant /bin/sh and Sun compilation ?

Hi, compiling XEmacs-21.5.19 on Sun (solaris 5.8), I get this error when gnumaking: -------------------------------------------------- Dumping under the name xemacs if test -f dump-size; then \ ../lib-src/insert-data-in-exec temacs xemacs.dmp xemacs ` ./temacs -si`; \ ret=$? ; \ if test ${ret} -eq 2; then \ rm -f dump-size ; \ else \ if test ${ret} -eq 1; then \ exit 1; \ else \ chmod +x xemacs ; \ fi ; \ fi ; \ fi dumped_data found at offset 0x45c208, patching. dumped_data found at offset 0x45c208, patching. if ! test -f dump-size; then \ ../lib-src/insert-data-in-exec -s xemacs.dmp > dump-size ; \ rm -f dump-data.o xemacs xemacs.dmp temacs;\ gnumake xemacs; \ fi /bin/sh: !: not found -------------------------------------------------- And then compilation goes on to completion.... I did set CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/xpg4/bin/sh in my environment before configuring. I found that changing SHELL=/bin/sh to SHELL=/usr/xpg4/bin/sh in src/GNUmakefile removes the error. It seems to me that SHELL=/bin/sh is hard coded in the Makefile.in.in files, and triggers the same kind of problem as for the configure script. I can provide more info if needed, Sylvain Mazet.
