Read Makefile.config and when line matches var = val assignment create _var='val' from it. var must match [a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]* and val [^'\]* ('\' usually meaning multiline assignments). Write these lines to sh.config. sh.config can then be used e.g. in test scripts. --- configure | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/configure b/configure index 9bde2eb72b0e..feb0e480f86a 100755 --- a/configure +++ b/configure @@ -935,3 +935,8 @@ CONFIGURE_CXXFLAGS = -DHAVE_GETLINE=\$(HAVE_GETLINE) \$(GMIME_CFLAGS) \\ CONFIGURE_LDFLAGS = \$(GMIME_LDFLAGS) \$(TALLOC_LDFLAGS) \$(ZLIB_LDFLAGS) \$(XAPIAN_LDFLAGS) EOF + +# Create sh.config based on Makefile.config values. +# Output will be _var='val', val not containing ' nor \ (skipping multiline). +sed -n 's/^\([a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*\) *= *\([^\\'\'']*\)$/_\1='\''\2'\''/p' \ + Makefile.config > sh.config -- 1.8.0
