I don't have access to any OSX box.

Could you try the solution referenced at

http://superuser.com/questions/256898/sed-syntax-to-remove-xml

AFAICS it is basically splitting the expression into several, introducing more -e and quoting each part.

Thanks!

Best, Per

Does that work for you:

diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile
index 8cbfbbf..fbeaa22 100644

+VERSION   := $(shell sed -n -e '/vsn/ {s/.*,\s*"\([0-9][0-9.]*\)".*/\1/' -e 'p' -e '}' \
                          src/$(APPFILE).src)

 PREFIX    ?= /usr

This works on GNU as well.

Thank you!

Closing this issue.

Just add ; symbol before }

For example:

VERSION   := $(shell sed -n '/vsn/ {s/.*,\s*"\([0-9][0-9.]*\)".*/\1/; p;}' \

I'm testing similar code on OS X Maverics.
