Hi,
A config.status created for gettext-tools by autoconf 2.63 on normal Linux
contains these lines:
ac_sed_extra="/^[ ]*VPATH[ ]*=/{
s/:*\$(srcdir):*/:/
s/:*\${srcdir}:*/:/
s/:*...@srcdir@:*/:/
s/^\([^=]*=[ ]*\):*/\1/
s/:*$//
s/^[^=]*=[ ]*$//
}
...
The two lines with (srcdir) are pointless because they can never match:
the \$ gets transformed to simple $ by the shell's transformation of
double-quoted strings, and in the regular expression it then denotes the
end of line.
This comes from status,m4, around line 660:
cat >>$CONFIG_STATUS <<_ACEOF || ac_write_fail=1
ac_sed_extra="$ac_vpsub
$extrasub
_ACEOF
Possible fixes are:
- Double every backslash in the definition of ac_vpsub,
- Enclose the reference to ac_vpsub in single-quotes:
cat >>$CONFIG_STATUS <<_ACEOF || ac_write_fail=1
ac_sed_extra='$ac_vpsub'"
$extrasub
_ACEOF
