[Gm2] Hello World !

[Matthias Kurz]

Hi.

After the success stories in the last time i could not withstand to
try it myself, again. So i tried to build it under Solaris.

Additionally to the 2 already reported problems i found a bashism
in "gm2/tools-src/buildpg", where the bash specific keyword "function"
is used in two function declarations (one can just leave it out).
And then there was a second problem in "gm2/tools-src/makeversion".
The Solaris "expr" does not know the "match" keyword. Instead one has
to use the "colon" syntax: "expr s : rex" instead of "expr match s rex".
The "colon" syntax is also understood by other expr implementations
(e.g. the GNU one).

In the end i found that "DESTDIR" is ignored during "make install"
for the following things:
info/gm2.info
lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-solaris2.8/3.3.1/gm2/    (whole dir tree)
bin/h2def
bin/gm2m
bin/gm2
This brings problems during packaging (i want to package it for the
OpenPKG project http://www.openpkg.org/).

Great job, Gaius ! I cannot wait to try it with "real" sources.

PS: Has anybody ever tried gm2 on non-intel architectures ?
    This would be the next thing, i'd have to try.
