Bash tools Apply fixes for several bugs discovered since the initial release of Bash-&bash-version;: patch -Np1 -i ../&bash-fixes-patch; Prepare Bash for compilation: ./configure --prefix=/tools --without-bash-malloc \ ac_cv_func_working_mktime=yes --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. ac_cv_func_working_mktime=yes This parameter bypasses the search for mktime in configure and uses the version in glibc. The is necessary due to a change in gcc that has not been incorporated into this package yet. Compile the package: make Compilation is now complete. As discussed earlier, running the test suite is not mandatory for the temporary tools here in this chapter. To run the Bash test suite anyway, issue the following command: 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
