Build fails on Mac OS X 10.6

[jscipione]

I got a build error on build #41705 on Mac OS X involving a missing sed -r option. Mac OS X comes with bsd sed which doesn't have the -r option. Apparently FreeBSD implements the -r option in its sed command so that is why this went unnoticed thus far. Build error attached.

I don't use Mac OS, but there are already a few tools for which "darwin ports" have to be installed. Isn't there some GNU sed port, too?

Replying to bonefish:

There are a few including gnuregex, gawk, and yasm. However those don't come with they system by default so there is less of a problem there. There is a darwin port of gsed which can be installed but unless you put in the right alias in your ~.bash_profile you will use the default sed that comes with Mac OS X so this is more of a problem. I ended up installing gnused from source which allowed me to build but that is not a great general solution.
