(Exercise for the reader: do it in bash script :-))
PPS: The patch executes OK. In an ideal world the test might come after
For what is worth, doing this in pure {{{sh}}} would not be much more complicated... I should have thought about this earlier :-) the configure script
tests for perl (although, as you point out, the check is (presumably) redundant as you would not have got that far without a perl boot.
Indeed. I have checked it without Perl being in the {{{PATH}}} and {{{configure}}} failed okay. That is, although it did not find Perl when it tried to evaluate the expression, but it will say {{{configure: perl not found}}} -- and then at the check for Perl it will stop and display the corresponding error message ({{{You must install perl before you can continue...}}}). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9465#comment:10 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
