Description Felix Janda 2014-10-11 15:19:18 UTC 
cross-pkg-config uses bash extensions like ${!var} but a shebang #!/bin/sh. It therefore fails when /bin/sh is for example mksh.

Reproducible: Always

proposed patch

the intention is for the script to not require bash, so the ${!var} should be changed instead
Comment 3 Felix Janda 2014-10-29 22:24:34 UTC 
One could use "eval libdir=\$$var". There does not seem to be a way to do it with POSIX sh without resorting to eval.
