[jira] Commented: (XERCESC-1375) configure cannot be run due to improper shabang under SunOS
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1375?page=comments#action_61147 ]
James Berry commented on XERCESC-1375:
--------------------------------------
Zoltan,
Could you please clarify your statement that SUNOS doesn't allow the space following shebang? I can find no documentation of this, and autoconf continues to generate configure files with the space.
The documentation at http://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/various/shebang/ says that there was an ill-founded rumor that the space was needed in some environments, but says nothing about it not being allowed.
Can you point me to any documentation or evidence that says the space is not allowed? Any maybe this issue should be taken up with the autoconf folk, as they strive to make their code cross-platform in the extreme.

> The interpreter of all configure* scripts is given this way:
> #! /bin/bash
> However this line must not contain a space between the #! and /bin/bash.
> It would be corrected manually, however, the configure invokes the configure.status, which is generated by the configure itself, containing the bad shabang. So the configure.status corrected manually is overwritten in each session of configure.
