<pre>Hello,
configure cannot run when /bin/sh is dash, because it uses one bashism:
pattern substitution "${parameter/pattern/string}", which does not belong to
POSIX shell.
It happens at line 5062 of the "configure" script provided with
LibreOffice-5.4.4.2, when it tries to remove spaces from $PRODUCTNAME to make
PRODUCTNAME_WITHOUT_SPACES.
The POSIX way to suppress spaces is to use "tr", or "sed" as 10 lines earlier
in the "configure" file.
This fixes the "configure" file. Replace:
PRODUCTNAME_WITHOUT_SPACES=${PRODUCTNAME// /}
by:
PRODUCTNAME_WITHOUT_SPACES=`echo "$PRODUCTNAME" | sed 's/ //g'`
But of course the real fix should be in "configure.ac". Probably just the
same line but I do not know autotools, I do not know if there is an autoconf
macro that suits better, so I let you confirm.
The problem was introduced in
<<a href="https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/configure.ac?id=b640a1343bb73f0c36a316f42847de5d61c156e3">https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/configure.ac?id=b640a1343bb73f0c36a316f42847de5d61c156e3</a>></pre>
