Firstly,
On Solaris configure fails to find the version number for the
installed perl. It turns out that solaris sed does nothing if the
input doesn't have a carriage return.
We can fix the test as follows:
aldebaran!glynn [52] cvs -q diff
Index: configure
===================================================================
RCS file: /services/mozart/CVS/mozart/platform/emulator/configure,v
retrieving revision 1.280.2.3
diff -r1.280.2.3 configure
3147c3147
< oz_tmp_version=`$PERL -e 'print "[$]";' | sed 's|^.||'`
--- > oz_tmp_version=`$PERL -e 'print "[$]\n";' | sed 's|^.||'`which also works for gnu sed. Anyone see a problem?
Secondly,
Shouldn't configure crash out if perl isn't found? We crash out if we can't find various other things such as gmp, tcl, tk, etc.
