Hello, I would like to report some problems I get with configure.
For a while I use to build lilypond on a Sun under Solaris. There are small problems well identified now (in configure : "tail -n 1" refused, isinf doesn't exist, and so on). With last versions of lilypond, I get additional problems with configure evolution: 1) Before 2.8.1 concerning Python, there was eval _ver=\"\`("$exe" --version || "$exe" -V) 2>&1 | grep '[0-9]\.[0-9]' \ | head -n 1 \ | sed -e 's/.*[^-.0-9]\([0-9][0-9]*\.[0-9][.0-9]*\).*/\1/' \ -e 's/^[^.0-9]*//' -e 's/[^.0-9]*$//'\`\" Now there is eval _ver=\"\`("$exe" --version || "$exe" -V) 2>&1 | grep '[0-9]\.[0-9]' \ | head -n 1 \ | tr ' ' '\n' | grep '[0-9]\.[0-9]' | head -n 1 | sed 's/\([0-9.]*\).*/\1/g'\`\" and that does not work for me (version of python not found), I dont understand why. 2) With 2.8.7, I got problems for gcc, guile, makeinfo and some others programs, the version of which is not correctly found. I need to replace all occurrences of eval _ver=\"\`("$exe" --version || "$exe" -V) 2>&1 | grep '\(^\| \)[0-9][0-9]*\.[0-9]' \ by eval _ver=\"\`("$exe" --version || "$exe" -V) 2>&1 | grep '[0-9]\.[0-9]' \ (this is what I found in the previous versions of configure). Maybe I am the lone user to compile lilypond on Sun under Solaris, so I try to solve my problems when I get them, but I would like to indicate that previous versions of configure (2.8.1) worked better for me than the last ones, and perhaps better understand why. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Guy DURRIEU ONERA/TIS/DTIM tel (33) 05.62.25.26.59 CERT, 2, avenue Edouard Belin B.P. 4025 fax (33) 05.62.25.25.93 31055 TOULOUSE CEDEX 4 FRANCE e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
