Just using $SHELL inside configure would be insufficient if run via Solaris' sh. Using `bash ./configure ...` should've worked for v1.2 without patches, didn't test v1.3 on Sol10 yet.
Whether the DTrace support scripts fully work on Solaris 10 is another issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1090837 Title: Error in building Qemu-1.3.0 on Solaris 10 Status in QEMU: New Bug description: While trying to build Qemu on Oracle Solaris 10 (SPARC processor), I encountered the following error in the configure step: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ --install=/usr/ucb/install ./configure: bad substitution ./configure: !: not found ./configure: !: not found ./configure: !: not found ./configure: !: not found ./configure: !: not found ./configure: curl-config: not found ./configure: curl-config: not found As the following bug report says: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/636315, "sh" is hard-coded in the script. Can't the script be modified to accept a $SHELL argument to make use of bash or other shell during configure and make step?
