Build Information:
--
The rule for generating faq.txt in help/Makefile does not work on Solaris.
"which" does not return a positive exit code when the binary in question is not
found, so this
(( which elinks > /dev/null && elinks -dump -dump-width 72
-no-numbering -no-references < [email protected] > $@ ) || \
( which links > /dev/null && links -width 72 -html-numbered-links 0
-dump [email protected] > $@ ) || \
( which lynx > /dev/null && lynx -dump -width=72 -nolist -stdin
-force-html < [email protected] > $@ ) || \
$(srcdir)/../tools/html2text.py --width=72 --no-links [email protected] > $@ ) &&
\
does not work on Solaris 10 and older if none of the converters is found:
GEN faq.txt
/usr/pkgsrc/20130422/bin/pdksh: which elinks > /dev/null && elinks -dump
-dump-width 72 -no-numbering -no-references < faq.txt.tmp > faq.txt ) || (
which links > /dev/null && links -width 72 -html-numbered-links 0 -dump
faq.txt.tmp > faq.txt ) || ( which lynx > /dev/null && lynx -dump
-width=72 -nolist -stdin -force-html < faq.txt.tmp > faq.txt ) ||
./../tools/html2text.py --width=72 --no-links faq.txt.tmp > faq.txt ) && rm -f
faq.txt.tmp: unexpected `elinks'
In release 1.10.0, this rule is not triggered, because faq.txt was regenerated
before creating the distribution and is newer than faq.py, in 1.8.8, the rule
fails on Solaris.
One solution is to remove "which foo ..." and use the return values of the
commands themselves (or the failure to execute them) to steer the rule. Or make
sure that you always distribute an up to date faq.txt.
