same happens by executing a make only

jschlatow commented 11 years ago

Could you post sed --version and make --version please?

benjaminweb commented 11 years ago

GNU Make 3.81

sed version not retrievable due to strict POSIX standard (i.e. FreeBSD version) followed by Apple (Mac OS X Mountain Lion, 10.8.3 Build 12D78). However, file /usr/bin/sed last modified 2012-07-28 16:27, MD5 (/usr/bin/sed) = fdd95634fd5b8e563bb57a842e28476e

Unfortunately, I don't have a OSX environment available for testing, could you please try executing the following:

sed '/#PATH_EXT=/a \\nPATH_EXT=$(PREFIX)/share/taskopen/scripts' taskopen > taskopen.pl

and

sed s'/#PATH_EXT=.*/&\nPATH_EXT=$(PREFIX)\/share\/taskopen\/scripts/' taskopen > taskopen.pl
benjaminweb commented 11 years ago

No issue, I try at my best:

% pwd /Users/benjaminweb/git/taskopen

sed '/#PATH_EXT=/a \nPATH_EXT=$(PREFIX)/share/taskopen/scripts' taskopen > taskopen.pl

% sed '/#PATH_EXT=/a \nPATH_EXT=$(PREFIX)/share/taskopen/scripts' taskopen

taskopen.pl % sed: 1: "/#PATH_EXT=/a \nPATH_E ...": extra characters after \ at the end of a command

% sed s'/#PATH_EXT=.*/&\nPATH_EXT=$(PREFIX)\/share\/taskopen\/scripts/' taskopen > taskopen.pl % [NO RESULT]

Alright, in order to fix this you can replace the "sed.." line in your Makefile with the second variant. The fix will also make it into the next release. Thank you.

There seems to be a missing '\' before the "/usr"!

jschlatow commented 11 years ago

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't recognize that "/usr" was provided externally. I think I have to do some further investigation on this issue.

jschlatow commented 11 years ago

The new, and better, sed command is:

sed s',#PATH_EXT=.*,&\nPATH_EXT=$(PREFIX)/share/taskopen/scripts,' taskopen > taskopen.pl

It should fix this issue finally.

benjaminweb commented 11 years ago

Thanks for rapid fix. Confirm it does work now.

ross-ops commented 5 years ago

Hello! I am having the same issue, have tried your steps above to no avail. Completely understand that this project is not aimed at MacOS, and wouldn't bother if it wasn't for a mac being my work's daily driver of choice.

Just to be clear, I get: 


gzip -c doc/man/taskopen.1 > doc/man/taskopen.1.gz
gzip -c doc/man/taskopenrc.5 > doc/man/taskopenrc.5.gz
sed s',#PATH_EXT=.*,&\nPATH_EXT=/usr/share/taskopen/scripts,' taskopen > taskopen.pl
sed -i'.bak' s',/usr/bin/perl,/usr/bin/perl,' taskopen.pl```

...when trying to make your project. 

Thanks in advance

Ross

@ross-ops I don't see any error message in your quote. Can you please provide the complete output (including the command you're executing) and/or a description of the incorrect behaviour?

ross-ops commented 5 years ago

Sorry sure :)

$ make PREFIX=/usr
gzip -c doc/man/taskopen.1 > doc/man/taskopen.1.gz
gzip -c doc/man/taskopenrc.5 > doc/man/taskopenrc.5.gz
sed s',#PATH_EXT=.*,&\nPATH_EXT=/usr/share/taskopen/scripts,' taskopen > taskopen.pl
sed -i'.bak' s',/usr/bin/perl,/usr/bin/perl,' taskopen.pl

$ make PREFIX=/usr install
gzip -c doc/man/taskopen.1 > doc/man/taskopen.1.gz
gzip -c doc/man/taskopenrc.5 > doc/man/taskopenrc.5.gz
sed s',#PATH_EXT=.*,&\nPATH_EXT=/usr/share/taskopen/scripts,' taskopen > taskopen.pl
sed -i'.bak' s',/usr/bin/perl,/usr/bin/perl,' taskopen.pl
mkdir -p //usr/bin
install -m 0755 taskopen.pl //usr/bin/taskopen
install: //usr/bin/taskopen: Operation not permitted
make: *** [install] Error 71

Thanks for replying

jschlatow commented 5 years ago

@ross-ops the last three lines are the relevant ones. The install operation, which tries to copy the taskopen.pl script to /usr/bin/taskopen, fails as this operation is not permitted. This is because you, i.e. your user, rightly do not have write permissions to /usr/bin. You must therefore execute make PREFIX=/usr install command as root, e.g. by using sudo.

ross-ops commented 5 years ago

Hi there. Sudo-ing didn't help, but I changed the PREFIX variable to some other folder in my path, and that all sprang into life.

Thanks very much for you project, and time. R
