I just tried to build gnucash-docs-1.8.0 on Solaris and had the following
problem:
gmake[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'.
if test -e help-search-index.db; then \
rm -f help-search-index.db; \
fi
/bin/sh: test: argument expected
gmake[2]: *** [help-search-index-rm] Error 1
gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/gnucash/build/sun4x_59/gnucash-docs-1.8.0/doc-tools'
The problem is that "test -e" is not portable. If you change the
"test -e" to "test -r" it should have the same effect and work
more portably.
