Build fails on macOS because of sed error
It appears the build system for Pike assumes the user is using GNU sed
, and the build will fail on macOS (and likely other BSD-based systems) with this error:
sed: RE error: illegal byte sequence
This can be resolved by making sure that all invocations of sed
in the build system are compatible with both GNU and BSD sed
, or by checking early in the configure
script for GNU sed
and explicitly failing if a compatible sed
is not found.
