Thread: little anoyance with configure
Hi, I'm sorry I write so late with final aproaching with all beta and rc versions of 8.2 I have those (apparently harmless) warnings at configure time. Maybe a configure guru could have a quick look.

The original purpose was to convert underscores to hyphens, but it's doing something else entirely. $ echo test_string | tr 'a_b' 'a-b' testbstring On my system I need to at least escape the hyphen again: $ echo test_string | tr 'a_b' 'a\-b' test-string Character classes didn't do it for me: [_] -> [-] Have a nice day, -- Martijn van Oosterhout <kleptog@svana.org> http://svana.org/kleptog/ > From each according to his ability.

And configure is already littered with uses of sed. sed 's/_/-/g' cheers andrew

Hm. How abouttr 'x_' 'x-'

Good idea --- that's actually the only use of tr in the whole script,
so using sed gets rid of a dependency. (I wonder if the autoconf boys
deliberately avoid tr because they know about portability issues...)
