I'm using SHELL=/bin/dash and CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/dash

[Comment 3 Ionen Wolkens 2021-03-14 06:14:02 UTC]

This seems to be due to a combination of slibtool and CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/dash, individually both work.

Furthermore, /bin/sh == dash + slibtool works fine too, seems to be because you're setting CONFIG_SHELL.

> Furthermore, /bin/sh == dash + slibtool works fine too, seems to be because you're setting CONFIG_SHELL.

Does it actually use /bin/sh without CONFIG_SHELL?

This looks suspicious:

  slibtool --tag=disable-static

[Comment 5 orbea 2021-03-20 19:44:16 UTC]

Fails with CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/mksh too, it does not fail with CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/sh when mksh == /bin/sh.

[Comment 6 orbea 2021-03-20 20:28:15 UTC]

I think this is a slibtool bug.

https://dev.midipix.org/cross/slibtool/blob/f23d994965845536db0e6b21fc9c65091184b3f5/f/src/logic/slbt_exec_install.c#_593

In slibtool both /bin/sh and /bin/bash are hardcoded so that the options, '-c -o 0 -g 0' are passed to install-sh while when using /bin/dash or /bin/mksh they are passed to passed to the shell instead.

I think slibtool should probably not assume /bin/sh or /bin/bash.

Its also arguably that sudo should not be using install-sh to install .la files and that users should probably set their /bin/sh symlink appropriately instead of setting CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/dash, if necessary set CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/sh.

Fixed in slibtool-9999.
