[jira] [Commented] (JENA-1297) Code to set JENA_HOME in scripts doesn't work (links)

["A. Soroka (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-1297?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15952766#comment-15952766 ] 

A. Soroka commented on JENA-1297:
---------------------------------

Urg, on Mac OS X:
{code}
>  /tmp readlink  jena
apache-jena-3.2.0
{code}
but there is no {{-f}} option and no way I can see to get an absolute path. Guess we have to absolutize ourselves?

> I'm trying the script bin/sparql, to me the code that deals with links when setting JENA_HOME is unnecessary, it ends up setting '.' as the prefix for lib/ ad triggering main class not found (when putting $JENA_HOME/bin in PATH).
> The same script works when I set JENA_HOME with the physical path of Jena, not its symlink (which I don't like, because I prefer to upgrade by symlinking the last version to 'jena' and not having to change anything else).
> I've tried a version of such script where I removed all if [ -L ... ]  and it works perfectly well. In my opinion, the existing code (using dirname ... && pwd) is enough to track the folder where the script is.
