Larry, I just wanted to speak up quickly to be sure nobody used your example to "fix" the Mac OS problem and thereby break Solaris instead. No personal attack/affront was intended. -Paul On Wed, Nov 14, 2012 at 7:10 PM, Larry Baker wrote: > Paul, > > 1) I wasn't trying to

Ralph, > Ick - usually tools support some kind of version option. :-( In the olden days, -V (big V) was a reasonably standard request for version no. (little V being verbosity). The GHNU command line parsing added the wordy options preceded by double dashes. Unfortunately, gcc does not

Paul, 1) I wasn't trying to solve the --version issue, only the parsing of the response. 2) I assumed from the initial e-mail that the broken parser was in a Perl script. I'm not a Perl person, so I wrote the example regular expression parser in sed. These commands were done on my Mac OS X

Ick - usually tools support some kind of version option. :-( I'll give Nathan a chance to work on this tonight. If we can't resolve the problem, I'll revert the m4 check as well. On Nov 14, 2012, at 5:41 PM, Paul Hargrove wrote: > On Wed, Nov 14, 2012 at 6:26 PM, Larry

Ah. I see why it worked for me. I was using the MacPorts flex: vygr:build hjelmn$ type -p flex /opt/local/bin/flex vygr:build hjelmn$ flex --version flex 2.5.35 I will take a look tonight (if you haven't already fixed it) and see if I can improve find_and_check. -Nathan

Ralph, Try sed -n -E -e '1s/^.*[^A-Za-z0-9_-]?([0-9]+[.][0-9]+[.][0-9]+)[^A-Za-z0-9_-]?.*$/\1/p' (or its equivalent in Perl). -n = Don't print out lines that do not match the pattern -E = Telsl sed to recognize + pattern = .. (no attempt to rule out nonsense like 0.0.0) > savaii:~ baker$ m4

Re: [OMPI devel] [OMPI svn] svn:open-mpi r27601 - trunk

Sorry Nathan - I had to revert this out as it broke builds on Mac ML. The problem is that the find_and_check parser looks for parens to find the version number, expecting something like this: $ m4 --version m4 (GNU M4) 1.4.16 or this: $ gcc --version i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2 (GCC)
