Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-10 10:42:23] sniper@php.net There are no 'grep -E' calls in the PHP_4_3 branch. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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
