The Bash package contains the Bourne-Again SHell.
Apply fixes for several bugs discovered since the initial release of Bash-3.2:
patch -Np1 -i ../bash-3.2-fixes-5.patch
Prepare Bash for compilation:
./configure --prefix=/tools --without-bash-malloc
The meaning of the configure option:
--without-bash-malloc
This option turns off the use of Bash's memory allocation
(malloc) function which is
known to cause segmentation faults. By turning this option
off, Bash will use the malloc
functions from Glibc which are more stable.
Compile the package:
make
To test the results, issue: make
tests.
Install the package:
make install
Make a link for the programs that use sh for a shell:
ln -vs bash /tools/bin/sh
