Well, I've only time to get through a chapter 5 build tonight, but my Kubuntu
install has the necessary /bin/sh->/bin/dash symlink.
Here's a description of the changes I've had to make. Thankfully, there's
only one horrible hack so far, though I've got some unwanted '-e's appearing
in log files and the progress bar output. That's probably due to non-POSIX
use of `echo' but I'm not too bothered by it...yet :-)
1. Change: Remove the 3 occurrences of "SHELL=/bin/bash" from LFS/master.sh
Rationale: We shouldn't set the environment up differently to LFS, thus
masking the Glibc build problem.
2. Change: ***Hack*** remove the '( time { ... } ) syntax from
common/libs/func_wrt_Makefile.
Rationale: Dash doesn't understand the '( time { ... } )' construct (it
complains the '}' should be a ')'! I'll have a read of sh(1) to see if
there's a portable way of doing this, but I suspect it might be a case of
doing `date' at the start and end of the commands and calculate the
difference.
3. Change: Replace 'source' with '.' in common/libs/func_wrt_Makefile and
LFS/master.sh.
Rationale: Dash doesn't have a 'source' builtin, so use the more
portable '.' instead.
4. Change: Replace 'set +h' with 'hash -r' in LFS/master.sh.
Rationale: Dash doesn't have a '+h' option to its `set' builtin, but both
bash and dash understand `hash -r'.
I have a quilt patchset tracking all of these, so I'll forward them on once
the build finishes, if you're interested?
I'm now wondering why I get the following output from `ps' though:
/bin/bash ./progress_bar.sh 029-gcc-pass1
/bin/sh -c . ~/.bashrc && /media/hda3/jhalfs/lfs-commands/chapter05
/bin/bash /media/hda3/jhalfs/lfs-commands/chapter05/029-gcc-pass1
Is it the shebang line that causes 'ps' to report /bin/bash as being used? If
so, what's that middle process all about?
Regards,
Matt.
