GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 673218
fix non-POSIX usage of "echo -n" in configure script
Last modified: 2013-05-19 12:36:28 UTC
Created attachment 211012 [details] [review] proposed patch On OS X Snow Leopard and up, the configure script has output like this: {{{ -n Checking for platform macosx-c++... supported -n Checking for GNU make tool... using /opt/local/bin/gmake -n Checking for GNU install tool... using /opt/local/bin/ginstall -n Checking for dot (part of GraphViz)... using /opt/local/bin/dot -n Checking for perl... using /opt/local/bin/perl -n Checking for flex... using /opt/local/bin/flex -n Checking for bison... using /opt/local/bin/bison }}} This patch fixes it by replacing "echo -n" with "printf".

MacPorts has recently started applying a similar patch (it might even be the exact same one, idk): https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/textproc/doxygen/files/patch-configure.diff?rev=103087 The MacPorts issue that led to the project adding the patch can be found at: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37970
It's the same patch, defuzzed (line numbers updated).
Thanks, I'll include it in the next subversion update.
This bug was previously marked ASSIGNED, which means it should be fixed in doxygen version 1.8.4. Please verify if this is indeed the case. Reopen the bug if you think it is not fixed and please include any additional information that you think can be relevant.
