[comp.sys.next] compiling BaSH-1.05 on NeXT

simon@mmpe.mineral.ualberta.ca (Simon Tortike) (02/05/91)

Has anyone compiled bash-1.05 on their NeXT?  I noticed it was in the archive
at sonata.cc.purdue.edu, or appeared to be, because the file was just a
note to pick it up from the original site at prep.ai.mit.edu.  I had it
already from there, and running on our Sun.  I would like to use this shell
on the NeXT as well, but was unable to compile past the first two files,
allowing the makefile to create a generic file for a machine running
BSD.  If anyone has BaSH up and going, would they mind giving me a few
pointers about doing the same?

Thanks,

Bash 1.07 will be release within the next couple of weeks, you might
just want to wait for it.  Hopefully, it will be just a matter of
typing 'make' on the NeXT.
