Bug 204668 – econf fails when WORKDIR has spaces

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Santiago M. Mola (RETIRED) 2008-01-06 20:50:01 UTC]

Here's the offending part:
                   
for x in $(find "${WORKDIR}" -type f '(' -name config.guess -o -name config.sub ')') ; do
    vecho " * econf: updating ${x/${WORKDIR}\/} with /usr/share/gnuconfig/${x##*/}"
    cp -f /usr/share/gnuconfig/${x##*/} ${x}
done

which is broken when paths have spaces.

Use find blah | while read x.

This implies executing the code in a subshell. If this is a problem here, it could be workaround'ed with IFS.
