Description Matt Whitlock 2020-05-07 06:42:10 UTC
zbar's configure.ac contains a Bashism (substring replacement in variable substitution):

JAVAC=${JAVAC/ecj/ecj -1.5}

This causes configure to fail with the following error when /bin/sh is not Bash:

/var/tmp/portage/media-gfx/zbar-0.23.1/work/zbar-0.23.1/configure: 25279: /var/tmp/portage/media-gfx/zbar-0.23.1/work/zbar-0.23.1/configure: Bad substitution

Suggest setting CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash when running configure. This eliminates the error and allows configure to succeed.
