VIM: configure script sed and escapes (yikes help please)

[Bovy, Stephen]

I am trying to add the following to the configure script >>

if test "$zOSUnix" = "yes"; then
CFLAGS=`$as_echo "$CFLAGS" | sed 's/(/\\(/g;s/)/\\)/g'`
# CFLAGS="-D_ALL_SOURCE -Wc,float\(IEEE\),dll"
fi

And it does not seem to be working

The resulting config.mk has the following >>

CFLAGS = -O -D_ALL_SOURCE -Wc,float(IEEE),haltonmsg(3296) -W c,dll

>>>>

On the shell command line the following works great >>

echo "()" | sed 's/(/\\(/g;s/)/\\)/g'

I am not a unix guru, what am I missing ??

Four more backslashes.

CFLAGS=`$as_echo "$CFLAGS" | sed 's/(/\\\\(/g;s/)/\\\\)/g'`

Thanks John

That did the trick

>> CFLAGS = -O -D_ALL_SOURCE -Wc,float\(IEEE\),haltonmsg\(3296\) -W c,dll <<

But this is not the optimum solution , because I added { haltonmsg\(3296\) } to get the configure script to work better,

But we do not want { haltonmsg\(3296\) } to go into config.mk

There fore the following seems to be the only acceptable "simple" solution >>>>

if test "$zOSUnix" = "yes"; then

# CFLAGS=`$as_echo "$CFLAGS" | sed 's/(/\\\\(/g;s/)/\\\\)/g'`

CFLAGS="-D_ALL_SOURCE -Wc,float\(IEEE\),dll"
fi
