Re: devel/glib2 fails on Linux with "syntax error in VERSION script"

["Jeremy C. Reed" <reed%reedmedia.net@localhost>]

As a further example from libtool ...

The working line is (not using pkgsrc):

cat .libs/libglib-2.0.exp | sed -e "s/\(.*\)/\1;/" >> .libs/libglib-2.0.ver


While the pkgsrc build converts the \1 into a ASCII 0 / CTRL-A:

cat .libs/libglib-2.0.exp | sed -e "s/\(.*\)/^A;/" >> .libs/libglib-2.0.ver

(These lines are what is outputed to console.)


I found the related code in aclocal.m4 for linux*. 


My shell:
