[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [XEN PATCH v2] build: Replace `which` with `command -v`
The `which` command is not standard, may not exist on the build host,
or may not behave as expected by the build system. It is recommended
to use `command -v` to find out if a command exist and have its path,
and it's part of a POSIX shell standard (at least, it seems to be
mandatory since IEEE Std 1003.1-2008, but was optional before).

Notes:
v2:
- also replace it in xen/build.mk
- mention that it's a mandatory feature since edition 2008.
- some other rework of the commit message.
