Regarding: Xinstall.sh fails if run from a directory with a space in its path name
Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
------------------------------------------------------------
XFree86 Version: 4.3
OS: Mac OS X 10.2.4
Area: Xinstall.sh
Server: not server related
Description:
I put Xinstall.sh, extract, and the *.tgz files in a directory called
/Users/eric/Desktop/XFree86 4.3
(there is a space between XFree86 and 4.3). If I then do a normal installation
or a test installation from that directory, the installation fails. The result of
mkdir /Users/eric/x
cd /Users/eric/Desktop/XFree86\ 4.3
sh ./Xinstall.sh -test /Users/eric/x
is
Running in test mode, with root set to /Users/eric/x

Welcome to the XFree86 4.3.0 installer
You are strongly advised to backup your existing XFree86 installation
before proceeding. This includes the /Users/eric/x/usr/X11R6, /Users/eric/x/etc/X11
and /Users/eric/x/etc/fonts directories. The installation process will
overwrite existing files in those directories, and this may include
some configuration files that may have been customised.
If you are installing a version different from 4.3.0, you
may need an updated version of this installer script.
Do you wish to continue? (y/n) [n] y

Installation complete.
Repeat By:
1) mkdir /var/tmp/XFree86\ 4.3
2) Copy Xinstall.sh, extract and *.tgz files to /var/tmp/XFree86\ 4.3
cp Xinstall.sh extract Xbin.tgz Xdoc.tgz Xetc.tgz Xfenc.tgz Xfnts.tgz \
Xlib.tgz Xman.tgz Xquartz.tgz Xxserv.tgz /var/tmp/XFree86\ 4.3
3) Change directories to /var/tmp/XFree86\ 4.3, and install to /var/tmp/x
cd /var/tmp/XFree86\ 4.3
mkdir /var/tmp/x
sh ./Xinstall.sh -test /var/tmp/x
The patch below allowed me to successfully use Xinstall.sh from a path
with a space in it.
