Hi Nicola,

hope you're fine. I just got my hands on a (slow) Solaris 2.8 box. First thing I did was install a fresh-from-cvs GNUstep on that box. Then I compiled the ED* frameworks and noticed a build failure that I didn't expect. It turns out that in target build-framework-dirs of Instance/framework.make all [ ! -L foo ] tests fail due to Solaris' /bin/sh not offering the -L test (failure is: "test: expected argument missing"). Instead, I had to rewrite all occurences with /bin/test ! -L foo (which works). Not sure how one could rewrite that easily and still remain portable, probably by introducing something like platform.make in the NeXT makefile packages?


Hi - I'm still not sure how to fix this problem - we do have platform
specific configurations, but I'm not sure it would help with this.

Maybe someone else has a good suggestion.


I think 'test' is generally more portable than '[ ... ]' (In fact it's already used in one place in framework.make.) Is there any reason why it should not be used?
