[openssl-dev] [openssl.org #4448] Solaris pod install "sed" problem for OpenSSL 1.1.0 pre4

[Rainer Jung via RT]

The following line in Configurations/unix-Makefile.tmpl is non 
standards-conforming and breaks using Solaris sed:

...
               sed -e ':a;{N;s/\n/ /;ba}' | \
...

The man page tells me, Solaris sed mandatory needs a newline before the 
closing "}". The above construct throws errors when executing 
PROCESS_PODS during the make target install_man_docs:

   Label too long: :a;{N;s/\n/ /;ba}

Since I didn't find a way to include a verbatim newline in 
Configurations/unix-Makefile.tmpl that survives to the generated 
Makefile, I instead applied the following patch:

--- unix-Makefile.tmpl     Wed Mar 16 19:18:09 2016
+++ unix-Makefile.tmpl  Fri Mar 18 22:23:57 2016

  # The third sed removes the description and turns all commas into spaces

  EXTRACT_NAMES=sed -e '1,/^=head1  *NAME *$$/d;/^=head1/,$$d' | \
-              sed -e ':a;{N;s/\n/ /;ba}' | \
+              $(PERL) -p -0 -e 's/\n/ /g; END {print "\n"}' | \
                sed -e 's/ - .*$$//;s/,/ /g'
  PROCESS_PODS=\
         set -e; \

The perl based solution should work everywhere.

Regards,

Rainer
