When I first ran it (on a mac) it complained like this, over and over again: sed: -e expression #1, char 40: unterminated address regex sed: -e expression #1, char 36: unterminated `s' command These were in the expressions that extract the MACRO: and TITLE: stuff (see patch). Turns out the "sed" getting run was the sed in the "fink" installations, not /usr/bin/sed. Following patch fixes it (just change "sed" to "/usr/bin/sed", which is a reliable location for sed on all the unices I know of). Probably you would want to do this for all uses of seds, perhaps first check for /usr/bin/sed and then fallback to whatever sed is in the users' path, if any. Haven't looked at gnu autoconf to see how they do this kind of thing... I figured out what GNU sed's first complaint was, it doesn't like this: macroname=`cat $file | grep '^//[] []*MACRO:' | sed 's/.*MACRO:[] []*\([]_A-Z0-9[]*\).*/\1/'` but it does like this: macroname=`cat $file | grep '^//[] []*MACRO:' | sed 's/.*MACRO:[] []*\([_A-Z0-9]*\).*/\1/'` And I didn't get to figger the TITLE: problem.
