[jira] [Comment Edited] (SVN-4654) configure: command substitution
for SVN_REMOVE_STANDARD_LIB_DIRS fails with non-POSIX backticks on HP-UX
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4654?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15501111#comment-15501111 ]

--------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, you are right, it is [still POSIX|http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/xrat/V4_xcu_chap02.html#tag_23_02_06_03] but {{$()}} is recommended.
Please have a look at the tarball. The shell tries to execute {{/lib}} with {{/lib64}} as argument. There is some escaping issue as described in the specs. Frankly, I have wasted two hours to figure it out. {{$()}} does the job. If you have, of course, an idea with better compat, I am happy to verify it. Note that the operating system I use is already nine years old. How old are the Solaris versions you try to support?

> Key: SVN-4654
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4654
> Project: Subversion
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: compile, install
> Affects Versions: 1.9.4, trunk
> Environment: $ uname -a
> HP-UX blnn724x B.11.31 U ia64 HP-UX
> Reporter: Michael Osipov
> Attachments: SVN-4654.patch, configure.err.tar.gz
>
>
> When running {{configure}} on HP-UX, you see several times {{./configure\[4880\]: : Execute permission denied.}} and {{./configure\[4880\]: /lib64: not found.}}.
> This is caused by having the command substitution perfomed by backticks {{LDFLAGS="`SVN_REMOVE_STANDARD_LIB_DIR(...)`"}} and not with standard POSIX {{$()}}.
> See attached trace output w/o patch and with patch applied.
