151541 - Mozilla startup script fails on Solaris 8/x86

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 57866

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Fazal Majid]

The startup script /usr/local/bin/mozilla fails on the line:

until /usr/bin/test $found != 0 -o ! -L "$progname" ; do

because the Bourne shell built-in test does not handle -L. To quote the Solaris
man page for test(1):

     The -L option is a migration aid for users of  other  shells
     which  have  similar  options  and  may  not be supported in
     future releases.

Workaround: use /usr/bin/test instead of just test.

-> cls (that doesn't seem to be a dupe of the symlink bug)

Hrm, I thought that I had already responded to this but bugzilla doesn't seem to
see it...

Yes, this is a dupe of the symlink bug as the -L test is used during symlink
detection.  It's a known problem that solaris' /bin/sh is broken and doesn't
implement -L properly even though -h works.  A checkin was made yesterday to
switch to using -h.
