Subject: 30.0.50; unportable shell construct in configure
Date: 14. August 2023 at 15:21:12 CEST

NetBSD's sh doesn't like:

if test -n "${ndk_commands//\n }"

(it works in bash)

This construct has been in m4/ndk-build.m4 for quite some time, I'm not
sure how it ended up in configure now, but I guess it was one of the
recent Android changes.

I don't build emacs every day, so I think it appeared between Aug 5 and
Aug 13.

Appears that I neglected to copy the bug tracker into my initial reply.

Indeed.  However, the function containing that substitution is not
utilized under NetBSD.

Does its presence lead to actual difficulties during configure, or is it
merely an error reported when running sh -n?

Should be fixed now, thanks.

Yes, this is an actual problem. I only noticed this because:

checking for xcrun... no
checking for GNU Make... make
checking build system type... x86_64--netbsd
checking host system type... x86_64--netbsd
./configure: 5434: Syntax error: Bad substitution
*** Error code 2

The command line I used is

./configure --srcdir=/scratch/wip/emacs-git/work/emacs --localstatedir=/var --with-native-compilation --without-ns --without-imagemagick --without-xaw3d --with-x-toolkit=gtk3 --prefix=/usr/pkg --build=x86_64--netbsd --host=x86_64--netbsd --infodir=/usr/pkg/info --mandir=/usr/pkg/man --enable-option-checking=yes

in case it matters.
