I tried compiling and installing on Solaris. It all builds fine but I get the following message repeated a number of times: ./man/mh-chart-gen.sh: !: not found ! is not available in pure Bourne shell and should be avoided. There are several options, we could use: echo $i | grep 'mh-chart.man' >/dev/null && continue or: expr $i : .*/mh-chart.man >/dev/null && continue I think continue works in any reasonable /bin/sh. Or we could avoid any forks by using a case statement: case $i in */mh-chart.man) break; *) ... ;; esac The script then goes on to complain about the -E option to grep (only /usr/xpg4/bin/grep or egrep handle that on Solaris). I think the easiest solution here to the roll the grep -E into the awk: awk '/.SH SYNOPSIS/,/^(\.ad|typical usage:)/ { if ( $0 !~ /^(\.SH SYNOPSIS|\.na|\.ad|typical usage:)/ ) print }' Oliver _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
