It is my habit to update the entire cygwin installation at least once a
week.
Earlier today, I updated and got the new version of bash, 3.1.17(8).
It appears broken. The .profile I have happily used for years gives it
fits (the same .profile works fine if I invoke ksh instead of bash) and
other shell scripts that used to work, no longer do. The shell typically
produces errors like:
: invalid option name
': not a valid identifier
: command not found
: command not found
: command not found
: command not found
: command not found
-bash: /cygdrive/c/usr/home/tundra/.profile: line 15: syntax error near
unexpect'd token `{
'bash: /cygdrive/c/usr/home/tundra/.profile: line 15: `{
In this case, the "script" was .profile and the first 15 lines look
like this:
set -o ignoreeof
export ignoreeof
export EDITOR=emacs
export MACHINE=`uname -n`
export PAGER=less
export TZ=CST6CDT
TERM=vt100
# Function definitions
function PyD
{
cd $HOME/Dev/python/$1
}
Ideas anyone? Is there a change to bash syntax and I just didn't get
the memo?
That's one way to put it.
