Michael Osipov commented on SVN-4654:
-------------------------------------
bq. You mentioned nine-year-old OS ... anyway, do you actually have a
POSIX-compatible shell that accepts $() on HP-UX 10.20? When I used that back
in the day, I'm pretty sure the default Korn-like shell only handled backticks.
Just to make sure, I do not intend to run Subversion on such old machines OSes.
My goal is HP-UX 11.31 on IA64, everything is pretty much unsupported or
deprecated by HP.
bq. Our configure scripts are supposed to be platform independent, but
Linux-specific stuff has probably crept in in places, since most people don't
have access to HP-UX or Solaris or AIX.
I am just trying to make everyone happy.
> configure: command substitution for SVN_REMOVE_STANDARD_LIB_DIRS fails with

> Key: SVN-4654
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4654
> Project: Subversion
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: compile, install
> Affects Versions: 1.9.4, trunk
> Environment: $ uname -a
> HP-UX blnn724x B.11.31 U ia64 HP-UX
> Reporter: Michael Osipov
> Attachments: SVN-4654.patch, configure.err.tar.gz
>
>
> When running {{configure}} on HP-UX, you see several times
> {{./configure\[4880\]: : Execute permission denied.}} and
> {{./configure\[4880\]: /lib64: not found.}}.
> This is caused by having the command substitution perfomed by backticks
> {{LDFLAGS="`SVN_REMOVE_STANDARD_LIB_DIR(...)`"}} and not with standard POSIX
> {{$()}}.
> See attached trace output w/o patch and with patch applied.
