Description Kris Rehberg 2005-07-11 14:09:42 UTC 
Just type ./configure.  The configure script will fail after ""Created 
libmd5/libmd5.pro from libmd5/libmd5.pro.in..." and before "Generating 
src/lang_cfg.h...".  This is because the shell specified, "/bin/sh", is not 
Bash on Solaris but is a very plain-vanilla POSIX shell and does not understand 
the syntax used by "./configure."

The solution is to use "/bin/bash" when you intend to use the "bash" shell.
Comment 1 Dimitri van Heesch 2005-07-11 18:25:58 UTC 
I do *not* indent to use the bash shell only. The configure script works fine
with ash and ksh as well (and it also works on Solaris 9 and 10 for that
matter). So either fix the script for me so it does work (I do not have access
to Solaris 8 myself) or patch it yourself each time.

Kindly awaiting your patch ;-)

Comment 3 Kris Rehberg 2005-07-11 18:59:33 UTC 
Appears to be a bug with Trusted Solaris 8 (based on Solaris 8 7/03 release) so 
it's not important enough to fix if it works on Solaris 9 and 10.

Checked back with my notes on TSOL8, and Mozilla has a similar problem which 
was also marked as not-to-be-fixed.
