I just last week successfully built bash-2.03 and had not one bit of problem.
However I did _not_ run the configure script in the source directory. My
standard is to have this directory structure:
/prj/src/bash-2.03
/prj/obj/bash-2.03
Then I
cd /prj/obj/bash-2.03
/prj/src/bash-2.03/configure --prefix=/install/bash-2.03
--srcdir=/prj/src/bash-2.03
make

Greetings,
This is cygwin B20.1 with 1999-01-15 snapshot of cygwin1.dll, on
NT4/SP5. Trying to build bash-2.03 (release).
Background: Now that I am trying to get "real work done" in bash under
cygwin, I can no longer tolerate that bash cannot read its
.bash_history file. (I have, and wish to keep, text != binary
mounts under cygwin.)
I thought I could apply Mark Levedahl's patch (Ref:
< http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/cygwin/1999-05/msg00638.html >) to
bash-2.03. I thought I had read elsewhere that bash builds
out-of-the-box on cygwin, but I got almost nowhere:
> ./configure
> -----------
> creating cache ./config.cache
> configure: error: can not run ./support/config.sub
Has anyone else built bash-2.03 successfuly for cygwin? Is there
something special I need to do, or should I start looking for problems
in my cygwin setup? (I've built other gnu software in the past
without difficulty.)
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
David

As an FYI, I imported bash 2.03 into our development sources here at
Cygnus which was pretty painless. This (or possibly a newer version)
will be in the next Cygwin release, whenever that happens.

Cool. Does anyone know when the new release is going to come out?

Greetings,
This is cygwin B20.1 with 1999-01-15 snapshot of cygwin1.dll, on
NT4/SP5. Trying to build bash-2.03 (release).
Background: Now that I am trying to get "real work done" in bash under
cygwin, I can no longer tolerate that bash cannot read its
.bash_history file. (I have, and wish to keep, text != binary
mounts under cygwin.)
I thought I could apply Mark Levedahl's patch (Ref:
< http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/cygwin/1999-05/msg00638.html >) to
bash-2.03. I thought I had read elsewhere that bash builds
out-of-the-box on cygwin, but I got almost nowhere:
> ./configure
> -----------
> creating cache ./config.cache
> configure: error: can not run ./support/config.sub
Has anyone else built bash-2.03 successfuly for cygwin? Is there
something special I need to do, or should I start looking for problems
in my cygwin setup? (I've built other gnu software in the past
without difficulty.)
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
David
