#2170: make install fails for x86 ubuntu linux
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
Reporter: skurtzberg | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Component: Compiler
Version: 6.8.2 | Severity: minor
Keywords: | Testcase:
Architecture: x86 | Os: Linux
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
Using the binary x86 distribution, make install fails.
Recently (or at least fairly recently) ubuntu changed the symlink /bin/sh
to point to /bin/dash. This greatly speeds up many things, but breaks
other things.
To work around, delete the link, create a link pointing to a more
compliant shell (I tested with zsh, presumably bash works as well), do
make install, then revert the link.
This can be considered a documentation issue rather than a bug, but
perhaps there's a minor script change that will work with dash as well as
other common shells.
