Details

If /bin/sh is not bash (mine was symlinked to dash instead), then configure fails with:

./configure: 19987: ./configure: Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting "fi")

I swapped out the first line to #!/bin/bash intead, but then it fails a bit later in the compile with libtool errors (hundreds of lines).
Changing my symlink to point to /usr/bin/bash "fixed"/masked the problem and it compiled OK.


...should probably mention, I'm going by this advice from Allan:

Reason for closing:  Upstream

All that really matters is that repo PKGBUILDs work in a clean chroot, so this really isn't a problem. This comes from upstream anyway, so if you can point the bashism out to them, that's where it needs fixed.

Steven, did you ever report this upstream?
Comment by Steven Honeyman (stevenhoneyman) - Sunday, 19 July 2015, 10:36 GMT
No - it was right around the time they ruined the UI (in my opinion) and I switched to qpdfview instead.

Feel free to close even if this still isn't fixed.
