Re: (re)compiling from source

[Enrique Sanchez Vela <enrique_sanchez_vela-at-yahoo.com>]

Chris,

  this might be due to an extra line feed or carriage return, dont
remember which, in the new source files, specially if you got the
sources with a windows machine.

  to get rid of this problem, I usually do the following.....

   cd <source-tree>
   for file in $(find . -type f)
   do
    sed -e 's/^M$//' $file > $file.new
    mv $file.new $file
    chmod u+rwx $file
   done

 takes quite some time, but it works.... ;)

  oh, I almost forget to mention, the ^M char is not shift-6 shift-M
(american english keyboard layout) sequence, it is <ctrl>-v <ctrl>-m

regards,
esv
