Re: Can't bootstrap pkgsrc-current on Solaris 10

[Julien Savard <juliensavard17%gmail.com@localhost>]

Well problem seems to be related to the "/bin/sh" bundled with Solaris :

[root@zone2 libnbcompat]$  /bin/sh  config.sub sun4

config.sub: -r: is not an identifier

[root@zone2 libnbcompat]$ /usr/xpg4/bin/sh  config.sub sun4

sparc-sun-sunos4.1.1

[root@zone2 libnbcompat]$ /bin/ksh  config.sub sun4

sparc-sun-sunos4.1.1

Also, as requested : 

[root@zone2 libnbcompat]$  /bin/sh -x config.sub sun4

timestamp=2018-08-29

+ echo config.sub

+ sed -e s,.*/,,

How can I force another shell to be used in bootstrap ?

Try running

        /bin/sh config.sub sun4

and see what happens.   When run from configure stdout and stderr are
redirected, so no error messages appear.

It should just print something like

        sparc-sun-sunos4.1.1

and do nothing else, but in your case it appears to be failing for
some reason.   Perhaps /bin/sh is not a good enough shell for the
script - you mighht need to set SHELL to /bin/ksh (or some other
sh - perhaps /usr/xpg4/sh or wherever it is).

Certainly the version of gcc is irrelevant for this, it is simply a shell
script failing in some way.

If it prints nothing at all, and simply exits with a non-zero status, then
add tthe -x option to show how far it gets ...

        /bin/sh -x config.sub sun4

(you need to be in the pkgsrc/pkgtools/libnbcompat/files ditrectory to
find config.sub for all of this.)
