#22604 [Opn]: Egrep/'grep -E' usage not working

ID: 22604 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: j-devenish at users dot sourceforge dot net Status: Open Bug Type: *Configuration Issues Operating System: Solaris -PHP Version: 4CVS-2003-03-08 (stable) +PHP Version: 5.0.0-dev New Comment: There are no 'grep -E' calls in the PHP_4_3 branch. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-08 03:57:34] j-devenish at users dot sourceforge dot net (1) There are multiple instances of hard-coded egrep/'grep -E'. egrep is deprecated, but unfortunately grep with '-E' is not always available with people's default paths under Solaris. So, hard-coded 'grep -E' can cause configuration error messages under Solaris (esp HEAD, maybe not so much with PHP_4_3). (2) AC_PROG_CPP appears to do an egrep/'grep -E' test and defines the variable $EGREP. (But this is after PHP_INIT_BUILD_SYSTEM, which itself currently uses extended regex.) (3) perhaps, sometimes, bare 'grep' may be sufficient. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22604&edit=1
