Package: autoconf
Version: 2.61-6
Severity: important
Hello,
Please consider a minimal configure.ac containing:
----8<-[cut here]-8<---------------------------------------8<-[cut here]-8<----
AC_INIT([IMMS],[3.0.2],[EMAIL PROTECTED])
AC_PREREQ([2.52g])
AC_REVISION($Id: configure.ac,v 1.30 2003/10/23 23:53:20 mag Exp $)
AC_PROG_CC
AC_MSG_CHECKING([for usability of initstate_r])
AC_TRY_RUN([#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
static struct random_data rand_data;
static char rand_state[256];
initstate_r(0, rand_state, sizeof(rand_state), &rand_data);
exit(0);
}], initstate_r_works=yes,, ])
----8<-[cut here]-8<---------------------------------------8<-[cut here]-8<----
then run autoconf on it and then run ./configure. There result is:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/c$ ./configure
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of executables...
checking for suffix of object files... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed
checking for usability of initstate_r... ./configure: line 2573: syntax error
near unexpected token `else'
./configure: line 2573: `else'
Around the line 2573 there is code:
2571 if test "$cross_compiling" = yes; then
2572
2573 else
2574 { { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: error: cannot run test program while cross
comp iling
2575 See \`config.log' for more details." >&5
2576 echo "$as_me: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling
2577 See \`config.log' for more details." >&2;}
2578 { (exit 1); exit 1; }; }
2579 fi
2580 ]])
which is invalid. Please consider following shell script:
----8<-[cut here]-8<---------------------------------------8<-[cut here]-8<----
#!/bin/sh
if test "$1" = "foo"; then
else
echo There is no foo
fi
----8<-[cut here]-8<---------------------------------------8<-[cut here]-8<----
It always run with an error:
./foo: line 4: syntax error near unexpected token `else'
./foo: line 4: `else'
/bin/sh is a symlink to /bin/bash on my box.
Replacing the shebang line with #!/bin/dash doesn't help too:
./foo: 4: Syntax error: "else" unexpected
Valid script is:
----8<-[cut here]-8<---------------------------------------8<-[cut here]-8<----
#!/bin/sh
if test "$1" = "foo"; then
:;
else
echo There is no foo
fi
----8<-[cut here]-8<---------------------------------------8<-[cut here]-8<----
It runs correctly with bash and with dash.
My bash and dash versions:
||/ Name Version Description
+++-==============-==============-============================================
ii bash 3.1dfsg-9 The GNU Bourne Again SHell
ii dash 0.5.4-7 POSIX-compliant shell
I kindly ask to fix the bug ASAP, it makes me impossible (well, hard) to fix
http://bugs.debian.org/456686, which is serious.
Best regards
Artur
