build: Use portable sed syntax in src/Makefile.am (1.11 KB, patch)

Description Ting-Wei Lan 2018-01-06 19:05:32 UTC 
This is the same issue as bug 792279, but for mutter. POSIX only supports basic regular expressions (BRE) in sed command, so using \<, \>, \+ can cause build problems on systems not using GNU sed.

build: Use portable sed syntax in src/Makefile.am

Replace non-portable \<, \>, \+ with \(, \), \{, \} to avoid build
failure on systems not using GNU sed.
