Bug 353406 – icu-4.6's configure use /bin/sh to determine ICU_ECHO_{C,N,T}

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description Naohiro Aota 2011-02-01 14:29:21 UTC]

the ebuild set "CONFIG_SHELL=${EPREFIX}/bin/sh" to "make sure we configure with the same shell as we run icu-config with, or ECHO_N, ECHO_T and ECHO_C will be wrongly defined"

However icu-4.6 configure use custom echo test (using /bin/sh), so that the ECHO_{N,T,C} is wrongly defined.


Reproducible: Always

Unfortunately they indeed worked around it in a broken way.  I took your patch, applied, thanks.
