In nobase.test: # Remove the 'x' bits just for fun. (Peter O'Gorman said: "If an # upstream source tarball does not use the autotools, it is sometimes # easier to build if it is modified to use them. Then a patch is # generated, and applied to the unpacked clean sources during the # build. patch(1) knows nothing about permissions, so executable bits # etc can disappear.") chmod a-x install-sh
yet removing the x bits just makes the test fail for me: /bin/ksh: ./install-sh: cannot execute - Permission denied gmake: *** [sub/.dirstamp] Error 126 with gmake 3.80, and bsd make tries to exec(install-sh) which fails. Thoughts? Cheers, Patrick
