Description Brian Cameron 2009-04-07 05:53:57 UTC 
The autogen script doesn't work with Solaris bourne shell.  It generates this
error:

./autogen.sh: syntax error at line 3: `(' unexpected

Simply changing "#!/bin/sh" at the top of the file to "#!/bin/bash" fixes this
problem.  Can this change go upstream?
Comment 1 Dan Winship 2009-04-07 13:39:37 UTC 
there's no reason for the script to be using bash's $() syntax rather than plain-old backticks, so I fixed it that way instead.
