Actually the \\$ is my mistake, since the point of using LT_AT_CHECK rather than straight AT_CHECK is to echo the expanded output to the testsuite.log before executing the test, and escaping the $ like that defeats the expansion. > Looking at LT_ESCAPE in testsuite.at (which is expanded as part of > LT_AT_CHECK), it seems to handle \"` specially, but not $. Interesting. Then it looks like it is the echo expansion in LT_AT_CHECK that is tripping Windows $SHELL, so moving to straight AT_CHECK will remove that problem... > My $EGREP is GNU grep 2.6.3 on Cygwin, and GNU grep 2.5.4 on MinGW. > > I don't have enough quotefuu to fix this. Changing all LT_AT_CHECK to AT_CHECK for the tests formerly in quote.test and removing the extra \\ before $ doesn't regress on Mac, where make distcheck still succeeds. I'll push if you can confirm that it fixes the test on Windows for you, otherwise we'll have to wait until I have a Windows test environment to figure out what I'm missing. Cheers, -- Gary V.
