This is not entirely correct; dash is clearly supporting assignments in local as well; we have: local compiler="$1" However, it's not automatically quoting the RHS of the assignment, like normal variable assignment does. But since this RHS is a bit more complex than usual, I'll just apply this: diff --git a/configure b/configure index 28bf755..6faeb00 100755 --- a/configure +++ b/configure @@ -2787,8 +2787,10 @@ fi glib_pkg_config() { if $pkg_config --atleast-version=$glib_req_ver $1; then - local probe_cflags=$($pkg_config --cflags $1) - local probe_libs=$($pkg_config --libs $1) + local probe_cflags + local probe_libs + probe_cflags=$($pkg_config --cflags $1) + probe_libs=$($pkg_config --libs $1) CFLAGS="$probe_cflags $CFLAGS" LIBS="$probe_libs $LIBS" libs_qga="$probe_libs $libs_qga" Paolo
