avr-binutils @ 2.32 patching error on snowleopard

[chrisjohgorman (Chris Gorman)]

When I run sudo port -v install avr-binutils I get the following error.

--->  Patching Makefile.in: s/[[:<:]]as\.(info|texi)/avr-&/g
/usr/bin/sed: -e expression #1, char 32: Invalid character class name
Error: reinplace: child process exited abnormally
Error: Failed to patch avr-binutils: reinplace sed(1) failed
Error: See /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_cross_avr-binutils/avr-binutils/main.log for details.
Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug.
Error: Processing of port avr-binutils failed

Upon examination, I found the following block from crossbinutils-1.0.tcl fails to run properly on my machine.

            # Fix Makefile
            reinplace -q -E \
                s/\[\[:<:\]\]${page}\\.(info|texi)/${crossbinutils.target}-&/g \
                ${worksrcpath}/${dir}/Makefile.in

Found the culprit by accident. My sed was a symlink to a gsed. When the reinplace ran it returned an error. To fix this I copied a sed from the osx install disk and the error is gone. Suggest closing this.

Ok, I'm glad you figured it out! Unfortunately I do not have Snow Leopard machines on which to test :/
