- <para>Bash has a number of bugs in it that cause it to not behave the
- way it is expected at times. Fix this behavior with the following
- patch:</para>
- <screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../bash-&bash-version;-gnu-fixes-2.patch</userinput></screen>
- <para>Now prepare Bash for compilation:</para>
- <screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr --bindir=/bin \
- --without-bash-malloc --with-installed-readline</userinput></screen>
- <para>Compile the package:</para>
- <screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen>
- <para>To test the results, issue:
- <userinput>make tests</userinput>.</para>
- <para>Install the package:</para>
- <screen><userinput>make install</userinput></screen>
- <para>Now run the newly compiled <command>bash</command> program (replacing the one you are currently executing):</para>
- <screen><userinput>exec /bin/bash --login +h</userinput></screen>
- <para>Note that the parameters used make it an interactive login instance
- (so /etc/profile is read, if it exists, and the first found
- ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login or and ~/.profile) and continue to
- disable hashing so that new programs are found as they become
- available.</para>
