See Bug #58145 also. "-C" means "change to that directory", is there a similar command line switch on solaris? There is a similar command (from solaris tar man-page):
SYNOPSIS
tar c [ bBeEfFhiklnopPqvwX [ 0-7 ] ] [ block ] [ tar-
file ] [ exclude-file ] { -I include-file | -C directory
| file | file } ...
-C directory file
Performs a chdir (see cd(1)) operation on directory
and performs the c (create) or r (replace) operation
on file. Use short relative path names for file. If
file is `.', archive all files in directory. This
option enables archiving files from multiple direc-
tories not related by a close common parent.
It seems that the command order is important. Using
> tar -cf admin.tar admin/ -C .
instead of
> tar -C . -cf admin.tar admin/
works (at least I get a file named "admin.tar" containing the desired files).
Hmm... from the man page I'd guess that the correct use of "-C" would be
> tar -cf admin.tar -C . admin/
Can you please try that? If it succeeds, I'll patch the Makefile.am so we can close this bug.
Thank you,
Harry
Subject: RE: solaris only: tar '-C' not supported -> (g)make fails It seems that it doesn't matter if > tar -cf admin.tar -C . admin or > tar -cf admin.tar -C . admin -C . but it does matter if > tar -cf admin.tar -C . admin or > tar -cf admin.tar -C . admin/ since the latter DOES NOT work. (tar: admin/: No such file or directory) Hope I helped Daniel okay, should be fixed in CVS now. Thanks for you help :) Yes, works fine :) |
