Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 112591
configure: only create bash script, not tcsh one
Last modified: 2010-07-21 11:09:57 UTC
Please make --with-use-shell=bash the default. tcsh is rarely used outside OOo and there is no need to keep this exotic choice the default as it is really a source of confusion for newcomers. So please: - make --with-use-shell=bash the default - make sure that --with-use-shell=bash _only_ creates a bash script (and not an additional tcsh one) - update the "Building Guide" on the Wiki when the change is announced
--with-use-shell has already been removed by issue 108269, and I right now cleaned up the 18 pages in <http://wiki.services.openoffice.org> that mentioned the phrase "with-use-shell", so what is left of this issue's original description is to "_only_ create[...] a bash script (and not an additional tcsh one)"---which has always been orthogonal to the --with-use-shell configuration; updated the summary accordingly.
Oh, great! And yes, generating a tcsh script when tcsh is not even supported in all makefiles anymore should really be avoided.
my understanding is that no with-use-shell is required any more, since OOo makefiles are only use bash calls now. This is a makefile internal matter. but as your interactive shell for building you still have the choice for using (t)csh, which still should be supported and does not conflict with internal bash calls. marking as invalid.
invalid -> closed
