building bash-2.03?

building bash-2.03?

[David Starks-Browning]

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?

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
