[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1090837] Re: Error in building Qemu-1.3.0 on Solaris 10

[Andreas Färber]

Yes, if you execute `./configure ...` the shell will execute the shebang
line inside the script, which says /bin/sh and happens to be a really
ancient version for backwards compatibility on Solaris.

Title:
  Error in building Qemu-1.3.0 on Solaris 10

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  While trying to build Qemu on Oracle Solaris 10 (SPARC processor), I
  encountered the following error in the configure step:

  ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ --install=/usr/ucb/install
  ./configure: bad substitution
  ./configure: !: not found
  ./configure: !: not found
  ./configure: !: not found
  ./configure: !: not found
  ./configure: !: not found
  ./configure: curl-config: not found
  ./configure: curl-config: not found

  As the following bug report says:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/636315, "sh" is hard-coded in the
  script. Can't the script be modified to accept a $SHELL argument to
  make use of bash or other shell during configure and make step?
