Crippled env command on Mac OS X prevents the testsuite to run #153

Closed foretspaisibles closed 9 years ago

The testsuite uses the ability of the env command to undefine an environment variable. This is the -u flag of the command. This is not supported under Mac OS X 10.6.

This also applies to Debian/Jessie and NetBSD.

“Crippled” is kind of exaggerated since the -u option seems to be a FreeBSD-specific extension.
