Hello,
I just started to work with jhalfs and BLFS and believe that I have come across a bug. The first package I installed was dash, which went smooth. The second package failed with the following: /bin/sh: source: not found It turns out that dash does not recognize 'source,' but rather '.'. I tried a number of shells, the majority accept '.' or 'source'. After a bit of reading (IEEE Std 1003.1, 2004 Edition) it appears that you may set the makefile's shell with the variable 'SHELL' to get around this. And furthermore setting 'SHELL' in the makefile leaves the environment variable untouched for any scripts that the Makefile runs. I've confirmed the behaviour described above on my system. If someone could confirm it would a patch to set 'SHELL=/bin/bash' in 'BLFS/gen-makefile.sh' be considered?
