Reject wrong find utility
Currently our configure scripts try to find the correct find tool on the PATH
.
However because Windows also has a utility named find
, depending on the user's configuration the Windows one may be on the path first.
The Configure script currently rejects the tool and continues trying to find the correct find
utility from msys2
.
However the binary distribution script doesn't get to know which find utility to use. So if the wrong find
is on the path then the windows binary downloads will fail with a weird error.
The find utility to use should probably be passed to the tarballs download script. We could just stuff it in an Env variable
and use it in the script if available.
