Hi, as i found out while wandering through mozilla's build system revamp for thunderbird - it turns out our pdksh has a "difference" with zsh, bash & bash in the following case :
[05:38] dawn:/src/comm-central/ $set foo bar baz ; for out in ; do echo $out ; done foo bar baz [05:40] dawn:/src/comm-central/ $zsh dawn% set foo bar baz ; for out in ; do echo $out ; done dawn% [05:41] dawn:/src/comm-central/ $bash bash-4.2$ set foo bar baz ; for out in ; do echo $out ; done bash-4.2$ exit [05:43] dawn:/src/comm-central/ $dash $set foo bar baz ; for out in ; do echo $out ; done $^D[05:44] dawn:/src/comm-central/ $zoid --[ This is the Zoidberg shell ]--[ Version 0.981 ]-- ### This is a development version, consider it unstable landry@dawn 05:43 ~$ set foo bar baz ; for out in ; do echo $out ; done Missing $ on loop variable at line 3 syntax error at (eval 55) line 4, near "do echo $out " zoid: done: command not found (yeah, why not zoidberg ?) As you can see, ksh outputs set values. boom in the thunderbird trunk configure script, cf https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=878661 for the complete analysis. So, a real bug to fix, or just a "difference" ? Landry
