Solaris and errors with GNU specific arguments in ./synclibs.sh #133

Closed marksolaris closed 5 years ago

Provided to show the issue and cure for other Solaris users who built from the git master.

Whilst compiling on Solaris 11.3 x86, every syncing of a library had errors. The cause would be GNU/Linux exotic arguments.

The fix is to install GNU binutils from the Solaris repo

sudo pkg install developer/gnu-binutils
perl -pe 's%sed -i%/usr/gnu/bin/sed -i%' -i synclibs.sh
perl -pe 's%grep -A%/usr/gnu/bin/grep -A%' -i synclibs.sh
perl -pe 's%tail -n%/usr/gnu/bin/tail -n%' -i synclibs.sh
./synclibs
./autogen.sh

users should not build from git master, this is only needed when you are developing libewf. As explained here: https://github.com/libyal/libewf/wiki/Building#read-first. As a user use the "source distribution package" instead.
