replaces the bash-specific ${a/b/c} substitutions (715 bytes, patch)
2004-12-22 12:24 UTC, Matthias Drochner 		none Details | Review

Description Matthias Drochner 2004-12-20 13:52:10 UTC 
"make install" fails on systems where the shell invoked by "make"
is not a "bash".
This is due to non-portable variable substitutions in
templates/autoformat/Makefile -- "${a/b/c}" is a bashism.
These substitutions can be easily replaced by standard compliant ones:
$${f/.*autoformat.$$cat./} -> $${f#$(srcdir)/autoformat.$$cat.}
$${f/.xml.in/.xml} -> $${f%.in}

Could you come up with a patch that works for you?

replaces the bash-specific ${a/b/c} substitutions

This patch works for me as end-user, ie without running autoconf tools.
A patch to Makefile.am should be similar.

Applied the patch to Makefile.am
