OS X export X=bla equivalent ?

Hi,

I have these Linux shell script and like to ask for a osx replacement:

#!/bin/sh

export MODULELIB=lbModule.so
export LBXMLFUNCTOR=getlbDOMConfigInstance
export LBMODULEFUNCTOR=getlb_ModuleInstance
export DEVROOT=~/develop
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/lib:
export OSTYPE=linux

Thanks for your help.

Those commands should work if you use /bin/bash instead of /bin/sh (on
Linux /bin/sh is just a link to /bin/bash). But the traditional Bourne
shell syntax is:

MODULELIB=lbModule.so
export MODULELIB
....

 

On Mac OS X, /bin/sh and /bin/bash are the same thing. Different files,
apparently, but identical.

 

Oh, you're right. I checked the inodes, I didn't notice that they were
the same size.

They're both bash, but bash checks what name it was invoked as; where
there are incompatibilities between bash and traditional Bourne shell
behavior, it switches to Bourne behavior when invoked as sh.

However, I just checked and it understands

export <var>=<val>

in either mode, since this is an upward compatible extension of Bourne
behavior.
