You might try renaming sh to ash and putting a copy of bash in as sh. This made my stuff work much better. ---- Bob McGowan i'm bobmcgow at xstor dot com Storage Dimensions, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: Stefan Hornburg [mailto:sth@hacon.de] Sent: Friday, March 20, 1998 5:28 AM To: gnu-win32@cygnus.com Subject: AC_PATH_PROG fails if blanks within PATH The program itclsh is located at //D/Program Files/Itcl2.2/bin/itclsh. Configure doesn't find the program. Moving the binary to a directory without blanks in the path, configure works fine. The corresponding snippet of configure.in is: dnl Check the presence of [incr Tcl] dnl -------------------------------- AC_PATH_PROG(ITCLSH,itclsh) if test -z "$ITCLSH"; then itcl_default=no else itcl_default=yes fi Is there a known workaround ?
