终端错误：cp：非法选项

Question

these terminal commands are written for linux. can they be translated to mac?

#!/bin/sh
cp --preserve=links libleveldb.* /usr/local/lib
cp -r include/leveldb /usr/local/include/
ldconfig

this is the error I am getting:

cp: illegal option -- -
usage: cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvX] source_file target_file
       cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvX] source_file ... target_directory
./try.sh: line 4: ldconfig: command not found

Answer 1

You don't have --preserve option in Mac version of cp . Use -p option instead (see man page )

Sometimes replacing Mac coreutils with the GNU ones may be a good solution. See this thread to learn more about installing GNU coreutils on your Mac.

Also, the ldconfig won't work on Mac either. See this discussion to find an alternative.
