2. /bin/sh: test: argument expected gmake[1]: *** [binary-dist] Error 1
-e does not work for test under "sh", so I changed it to "-r": ... if [ -r $$FILE ]; then ...
I doubt `-e' doesn't work on Solaris, because `-e' is POSIX. Does this "argument expected" still appear with your fix to 1.?
It does not work on my system (SunOS 5.10 Generic_137112-07 i86pc): -bash-3.1$ sh $ test -e log test: argument expected $ exit -bash-3.1$ test -e log (it works in the bash, though)
Or use pax(1), which in contrast to tar(1) and gtar(1) is POSIX:
pax -hwf $(BIN_DIST_TAR) < $(BIN_DIST_LIST)
(also untested, but should work)
I don't know pax, but it is installed on our machines.
5. When trying to install the binary distribution I got:
Installing executable(s) in /local/home/maeder/bin installPackage: dist-install/build/installPackage/installPackage: copyFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)
Maybe fallout from some of the above problems?
No, on an Intel Mac I got the same error (without the previous problems): Installing executable(s) in /Users/Shared/maeder/bin installPackage: dist-install/build/installPackage/installPackage: copyFile: does not exist (No such file or directory) make[2]: *** [install] Error 1 make[1]: *** [install.installPackage] Error 2 make: *** [install] Error 2 Thanks anyway Christian
