So this is really sure that /bin/ls will never be find for checking Java. Yes this is I think a bug from Darwin 6.2 /bin/ls but we have to find a workaround for this... Any ideas ?

The whole _point_ of the test is not to use /bin/ls on Darwin, since it is bugged. Install GNU ls.

---

Hello,

I was wondering why Java was not working in Pike 7.4 and 7.5 under Jaguar... First test from me found that checking for a working ls didn't work like autoconf script likes...

In fact in Java configure.in the following :

if /bin/ls ./fnord/fnord/fnord/fnurkelfoo 2>/dev/null; then : else : pike_cv_ls="$ac_dir"/ls fi

is never correctly checked in Darwin as you can see in this simple example :

...

kiwi@blackmagic:~/cvs/pike/Pike/7.4/src/modules/Java$ if /bin/ls ./fnord/fnord ;

...

then echo oo else echo zz fi

/bin/ls: ./fnord/fnord: No such file or directory oo kiwi@blackmagic:~/cvs/pike/Pike/7.4/src/modules/Java$

So this is really sure that /bin/ls will never be find for checking Java. Yes this is I think a bug from Darwin 6.2 /bin/ls but we have to find a workaround for this... Any ideas ?
