[comp.unix.wizards] Bash -- SysV compatability problems.

PSPINLER%MKVAX1@msus1.bit (Digital Knight in Circuit Board Armor) (11/15/89)

 
Please forgive me if I'm posting to the wrong list, but:
 
Has anyone successfully compiled Bash 1.01 to an 3b2 running sysV 3.2 ?  I have
been able to compile bash 1.00 under an i386 processor model, but have been
totally unable to successfully compile bash 1.01.
 
Also, using this version, bash appears to have problems parsing the command 
line for some programs.  Namely, bash appears to pass the entire command line 
as a single argument.  This behavior is most noticable using cc, but it has
appeared intermittantly using other commands.
 
Please email any suggestions to me.  Thanks.

I suggest that you get BASH 1.04.  At least one severe bug from 1.03
has been corrected, and I suspect that your problem with the command
line was fixed a few versions ago.  

BASH 1.04 recently became available on prep.ai.mit.edu by anonymous
ftp.  It may also be available by anonymous uucp from
tut.cis.ohio-state.edu.  If necessary, please ask me to mail it to
you.
