Hello,
I have just adviced a project to use
var=`"$srcdir/cmd" "prm"`
instead of
var="`"$srcdir/cmd" "prm"`"
The manual states that some shells misinterpret the latter, in
http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/Shell-Substitutions.html
Does anyone here know which shells contain this bug?
Are they extinct these days or is it Solaris?
Thanks
Stepan
