I have bash-1.04 running under SCO UNIX 3.2, but I currently have a major
problem with it.
I am compiling it with rcc, the AT&T C compiler, since it is not as
picky with variable scope as the Microsoft compiler. For example, cc
claims that interactive and array_needs_making is undefined in
builtins.c. I am defining ATT386 and SYSV in the build.
Anyway, I had to tweek glob.c so that it would use the
proper includes and readline.c so that bytes.low & 0x7f was not on the
left hand side of an assignment. Now when I am running a shell script
as follows:
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
do
cp /etc/termcap /usr/tmp/termcap
echo $i
done
and I interrupt it with DEL while the copy is executing, the cp
will terminate, but the script will continue to run to completion.
Needless to say, this is somewhat of a problem for me.
Secondly, why are both ttold.h (nojobs.c) with the sgtty structure,
and termio.h (readline.c) with the termio structure being used? Also,
readline only includes termio.h, which on SCO anyway does not define
the sgtty structure, but readline uses the sgtty structure.
Thirdly, why do defines for both i386 and ATT386 exist? Any place
one is used, they are both used.
Lastly, bash will not print it's prompt when envoked as a shell inside
GNU Emacs on my system. It works, but just does not print the prompt.
I think bash will be a GREAT shell when it is complete. Thanks for
all your efforts.
