12 years ago This is caused by the builtin echo inserting a literal "-n" into the output file instead of echoing without a new line. By using /bin/echo it correctly handles -n. A more portable solution would probably look for the location of echo and figure out how to echo out a string without a trailing newline (this has been done before). But for simplicity here is my patch for OS X:
diff --git a/src/Makefile.am b/src/Makefile.am
index 504c8f8..4431da3 100644

After installing all the dependencies on MacOSX, forked-daapd fails to build from source. The make output is: make make all-recursive Making all in src java org.antlr.Tool -depend DAAP2SQL.g > DAAP2SQL.u java org.antlr.Tool -depend DAAP.g > DAAP.u java org.antlr.Tool -depend RSP2SQL.g > RSP2SQL.u java org.antlr.Tool -depend RSP.g > RSP.u RSP.u:7: * missing separator.

Any hints how to debug this problem would be greatly appreciated.
