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
Comment 3 Ryan Schmidt 2013-02-14 01:25:09 UTC
It's the same patch, defuzzed (line numbers updated).
Comment 4 Dimitri van Heesch 2013-03-04 19:45:35 UTC
Thanks, I'll include it in the next subversion update.
Comment 5 Dimitri van Heesch 2013-05-19 12:36:28 UTC
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.
