Since 10.2 will be using bash as /bin/sh, I tried building some packages
with /bin/sh as a symlink to bash. Most things work fine, but there are
a few problems that need fixing:
1) Bash chokes on a Compile/Install/PatchScript that is just ";".
Instead, if you want to do nothing, just use 'echo "No compile needed"',
or something to that effect. I fixed this in these packages in CVS:
app-defaults-20010814-2
crypt++el-2.9.1-1
cvs2cl-2.38-1
ifmslide-0.45-2
pccts-1.33-1
pdfscreen-1.5-2
pdfslide-0.50-2
revtex-4.0-3
rox-base-1.0.2-1
seminar-1.0e-2
texpower-0.0.8f-2
w3m-el-1.2.4-1
x-ghostscript-fonts-20020206-3
xforms-0.89-2
2) Bash doesn't use the construct lib(foo|bar).dylib to refer to
libfoo.dylib and libbar.dylib. Bash will work with lib{foo,bar}.dylib,
but zsh won't. So neither should be used. I fixed this in these packages
in CVS (all Masanori's):
esound-0.2.23-5
libvorbis-1.0rc3-3
libxpg4-20010605-14
orbit-0.5.15-2
xmms-1.2.7-1
3) Many packages have a problem with libtool that makes their libraries
unversioned if built with bash. I have appended a patch which appears to
fix this problem; it was tested with gdk-pixbuf and bonobo. The
following error is symptomatic of this problem:
../libtool: test: too many arguments
And this line (or something similar) is in configure in all the cases
I've investigated:
archive_cmds='$CC $(test .$module = .yes && echo -bundle || echo
-dynamiclib) $allow_undefined_flag -o $lib $libobjs $deplibs$linkopts
-install_name $rpath/$soname $(test -n "$verstring" -a x$verstring !=
x0.0 && echo $verstring)'
These are some of the packages which probably need to be fixed, though I
have not done so myself. I'm sure there are more, so please check your
packages:
bonobo
freetype2
gdk-pixbuf
gtk+
gal19
guile
libxml2
libxslt
oaf
pcre
There may be more problems involving bash, so please try building your
packages with it. (Note that you may have to remove libxpg4 in order to
use bash as /bin/sh properly.) Hopefully we can get everything fixed
before 10.2 is out. On the positive side, bash makes anything with shell
scripts (especially libtool) build much, much faster, so it shouldn't
take too long to test things out.
