Bug 79231 – openssl ebuild stops with sed error: "sed: -e expression #1, char 114: unknown option to `s'"

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Markus Wernig 2005-01-23 09:43:02 UTC]

I have added "-I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib" to CFLAGS in make.conf.
There is a line (currently line no. 68) in the openssl-0.9.7e-ebuild that runs sed on the contents of the $CFLAGS variable. sed gives the above error if CFLAGS contains a forward slash ("/"). This is actually what I would expect it to do.

As a workaround I added the following line before the sed call on line no. 68:

NEW_CFLAGS="$( echo $NEW_CFLAGS | sed -e s/'\/'/'\\\/'/g  )"
(See attached patch)

I don't know if this is specific to openssl, all other ebuilds seem to run correctly

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib" to CFLAGS in make.conf
2. run "emerge openssl"
3.

Actual Results:  
emerge stops with error "sed: -e expression #1, char 114: unknown option to `s'"

Expected Results:  
clean install

I've created a patch for the ebuild that I'll attach.

changed the delimiter to ':' instead in 0.9.7e
