I'm updating the pkgsrc entry for Pan, and while doing that, it points
me to a portability issue in the configure script:
=> Checking for portability problems in extracted files
WARNING: [check-portability.awk] => Found $RANDOM:
WARNING: [check-portability.awk] configure: INTLTOOL_XML_NOMERGE_RULE='%.xml: %.xml.in
$(INTLTOOL_MERGE) ; $(INTLTOOL_V_MERGE)_it_tmp_dir=tmp.intltool.$$RANDOM&& mkdir
$$_it_tmp_dir&& LC_ALL=C $(INTLTOOL_MERGE) $(INTLTOOL_V_MERGE_OPTIONS) -x -u $$_it_tmp_dir $<
$@&& rmdir $$_it_tmp_dir'
Explanation:
===========================================================================
The variable $RANDOM is not required for a POSIX-conforming shell, and
many implementations of /bin/sh do not support it. It should therefore
not be used in shell programs that are meant to be portable across a
large number of POSIX-like systems.
===========================================================================
git: not found
Also, "git: not found" seems to indicate that "git" is used in
configure?
-Olaf.
Hi Olaf.
git is used for the version string in the about dialog box.
it could easily be left out.
unfortunately i don't have a clue about the intltool configure magic.
perhaps petr kovar knows something? you can ask him here or in the irc
channel #pan on freenode.
cheers.
