Some programs, e.g. guile-config, has a shebang that ends in '\': #!/usr/bin/guile-1.8 \ -e main -s !# ;;;; guile-config --- utility for linking programs with Guile ;;;; Jim Blandy <jim@red-bean.com> --- September 1997 This currently breaks patchShebangs: $ read oldPath arg0 args <<< 'shebang \'; echo $? 1 $ echo $oldPath shebang $ echo $arg0 $ echo $args (And setup.sh/patchShebangs is run with 'set -e' so any command that return non-zero aborts the build.) Fix by telling 'read' to not interpret backslashes (with the -r flag): $ read -r oldPath arg0 args <<< 'shebang \'; echo $? 0 $ echo $oldPath shebang $ echo $arg0 \ $ echo $args Also needed: escape the escape characters so that sed doesn't interpret them.
