System: NetBSD nool 1.6P NetBSD 1.6P (NOOL-$Revision: 1.35 $) #0: Sun Mar 16 12:27:03 MST 2003 jim@roc:/wd1/var/tmp/compile/sys/arch/i386/compile/NOOL i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
At installation (make install) after building from source, the
tr command that builds _PVM_ARCH for use in constructing PVM_ARCH
fails:
usage: tr [-cs] string1 string2
tr [-c] -d string1
tr [-c] -s string1
tr [-c] -ds string1 string2
make: "/usr/local/src/netbsd-current/usr/pkgsrc/parallel/pvm3/arch.mk" line 8: warning: "echo i386 | /usr/bin/tr [a-z] [A-Z]" returned non-zero status
causing one of the install commands to fail because PVM_ARCH is
incorrectly set to NETBSD instead of NETBSDI386:
install -c -s -o root -g wheel -m 555 /home/usr.local/src/netbsd-current/usr/pkgsrc/parallel/pvm3/work.nool/pvm3/bin/NETBSD/* /usr/pkg/pvm3/bin/NETBSD
install: /home/usr.local/src/netbsd-current/usr/pkgsrc/parallel/pvm3/work.nool/pvm3/bin/NETBSD/*: stat: No such file or directory
*** Error code 1
>How-To-Repeat:
make && make install
>Fix:
Quoting the arguments to tr in arch.mk fixes the problem.
Curiously, bash evaluates the command
echo i386 | /usr/bin/tr [a-z] [A-Z]
successfully, whereas our sh does not. Is this a bug in sh
or a bug in bash, or is either behavior deemed acceptable?
In any case, it seems like a good idea to quote the arguments
in arch.mk.
