On SunOS 4.1.2, autoheader fails to parse m4 output because of broken sed. The attached script illustrates this bug. I'm not sure whether it is a good idea to work around this bug in autoheader, or detect the broken sed and tell the user to use GNU sed. -- >8 ---- >8 ---- >8 ---- >8 ---- >8 ---- >8 ---- >8 -- #!/bin/sh # Show sed bug sed -n '/^@/,/@$/p' <<\EOF 1 This should be ignored. @2 This is to be output.@ 3 This should be ignored. @4 This is to be output.@ @5 This is to be output.@ 6 This should be ignored. 7 This should be ignored. @8 This is to be output. 9 So is this.@ EOF
