| Summary | 0000971: zcat vs. gunzip (host system portability) | ||||||||
| Description |
As the man page for (g)zcat mentions, zcat is identical to gunzip -c, except that zcat might not be installed on some systems (or might be the old 'compress' zcat instead of the GNU zip gzcat). Darwin / MacOS is one such. Using gunzip -c should work everywhere. A patch is attached. |

Can you please update your patch to take $(BR2_ZCAT) into account -- i.e use that instead of hardcoding 'gunzip -c'? TIA diff -r16280:16281 looks like this, FYI: Index: Config.in =================================================================== --- Config.in (revision 16280) +++ Config.in (revision 16281) @@ -180,6 +180,16 @@ string "Subversion (svn) checkout command" default "svn co" +config BR2_ZCAT + string "zcat command" + default "zcat" + help + Command to be used to extract a gzip'ed file to stdout. + zcat is identical to gunzip -c except that the former may + not be available on your system. + Default is "zcat" + Other possible values include "gunzip -c" + config BR2_TAR_OPTIONS string "Tar options" default "" |
