cotvnc: sed: RE error: illegal byte sequence

[essandess (Steve Smith)]

The underlying error appears to be "sed: RE error: illegal byte sequence".

Here's the build error:

Replying to s.t.smith@…:

The underlying error appears to be "sed: RE error: illegal byte sequence".

A very popular error on Mountain Lion (see other tickets for other ports). We should be able to fix this.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Although sed only prints this error as of Mountain Lion, the situation leading to the error message for this port actually caused a problem starting with Snow Leopard. Fixed in r103778. Thanks for the report.
