Hi, Can anyone answer the following question which is puzzling me; I have a piece of csh code which gets called during the build of a package i'm maintaining. it does the following:
echo "useful information" > /dev/tty within the script. (stdout, stderr being redirected, I think). This fails on kFreeBSD at least, so i've patched it to: set ttyf=`tty` ... echo "useful information" > $ttyf This works on Linux, and on the command line for me on a kFreeBSD machine, but under sbuild I get: $ttyf: Ambiguous. Unable to build Makefile - fix above errors and re-run. Any ideas as to whats happening and what I should do about it?
