Summary: grep incompatibility in configure
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 4.4p1
Platform: PPC
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P2
Component: Build system
AssignedTo: bitbucket at mindrot.org
ReportedBy: jeff.crutchfield at motorola.com
The configure script's check for a compatible 'grep' fails when the one
on my system apprears to be acceptable. My OS is LynxOS 4.0 and my
grep version is...
$ grep -V
GNU e?grep, version 1.6
There are two issues why this fails. First, my grep does not support
long options, so 'grep --version' on line 3169 fails. Then in the
default case, the test "grep -e 'GREP$' -e '-(cannot match)-' ..." on
line 3208 doesn't match. I found that my older version of grep appears
to /AND/ all of the '-e' expressions where newer versions of grep /OR/
the '-e' expressions.
I searched through the script and it doesn't appear to me that the
behavior described above is utilized anywhere else. As a hack I
changed line 3169 to "grep -V" and the configure script completed
successfully. Also, I have installed openSSH 4.3p2 previously on this
same platform and I didn't run into this issue.
