I do the main development on the linux box and every once in a while I make a package and test it on the SunOS box. My problem is that the libtool version that is shipped with gentoo (1.5.20) includes a "sanity check" to ensure ltmain.sh and libtool.m4 have same version number. The version number is extracted from ltmain.sh with: grep '^[[:space:]]*VERSION=' ltmain.sh | sed -e 's|^[[:space:]]*VERSION=||' but the sed version on the solaris box does not support [:space:] as a character class and thus I get following error message: *** [Gentoo] sanity check failed! *** *** libtool.m4 and ltmain.sh have a version mismatch! *** *** (libtool.m4 = 1.5.20, ltmain.sh = VERSION=1.5.20) *** by instead using grep '^[[:space:]]*VERSION=' ltmain.sh | sed -e 's|^[ ]*VERSION=||' the problem is solved. vapier@gentoo.org 2005-11-03 05:45:21 0000 i dont think we can use any character classes, be it with grep or sed if we just rewrite it and put in the space/tab ourselves it should be fine i think vapier@gentoo.org 2005-11-03 18:33:26 0000 fixed in 1.5.20-r1, thanks for reporting :)
