[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Bash Dependency in build system

[Jason Stephenson]

Hi,

I'm still plugging away at getting Evergreen to work on FreeBSD.

I have now made it to where I think I can try installing 
Evergreen/OpenILS itself.

The first thing that I have noticed is that the build system depends on 
bash being installed and that bash is installed in /bin. The following 
scripts have that dependency:

./Evergreen/src/support-scripts/eg_gen_overdue.sh
./config.sh
./install.sh
./Open-ILS/examples/oils_ctl.sh
./Open-ILS/src/extras/import/cleanse-usmarc.sh
./Open-ILS/src/extras/import/extract-holdings.sh
./Open-ILS/src/extras/autogen.sh
./Open-ILS/xul/staff_client/external/dtd2js.sh
./Open-ILS/xul/staff_client/external/prune_dirs.sh
./OpenSRF/bin/osrf_ctl.sh

Additionally, many of the scripts contain bashisms that are not portable 
to normal sh syntax. In the short term, I am going to install bash and 
sed the she-bang path to point at /usr/local/bin/bash. In the long term, 
I think it would be helpful if the above scripts were done in portable 
sh syntax. I have not looked at nor tried to run them all as of this 
writing, but I'm willing to do whatever work is necessary to make them 
portable and send patches to whomever wants them.

Cheers,
Jason
