>Description:
The sed update from FreeBSD sed a couple of days ago now requires REG_STARTEND
support in its regex.h to build. As this is required for cross building NetBSD,
a cross build fails on a host without support, with:
# compile sed/misc.lo
cc -O
-I/home/justin/src/obj/tooldir.Linux-3.13.0-24-generic-x86_64/include/compat
-I/home/justin/src/tools/compat -DHAVE_NBTOOL_CONFIG_H=1 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
-c -o misc.lo.o /home/justin/src/tools/sed/../../usr.bin/sed/misc.c
mv misc.lo.o misc.lo
# compile sed/process.lo
cc -O
-I/home/justin/src/obj/tooldir.Linux-3.13.0-24-generic-x86_64/include/compat
-I/home/justin/src/tools/compat -DHAVE_NBTOOL_CONFIG_H=1 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
-c -o process.lo.o /home/justin/src/tools/sed/../../usr.bin/sed/process.c
/home/justin/src/tools/sed/../../usr.bin/sed/process.c: In function 'regexec_e':
/home/justin/src/tools/sed/../../usr.bin/sed/process.c:665:49: error:
'REG_STARTEND' undeclared (first use in this function)
/home/justin/src/tools/sed/../../usr.bin/sed/process.c:665:49: note: each
undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
Our man page for regex(3) says of REG_STARTEND:
This is an
extension, compatible with but not specified by IEEE Std
1003.2-1992 (``POSIX.2''), and should be used with caution
in software intended to be portable to other systems.
>How-To-Repeat:
build.sh on host without REG_STARTEND support in regex library.
