It took a reread of the last email to see you were reporting two issues: (1) The Make.common. I just fixed in r5565 and am testing it. (2) The bash/dash nonsese I have working at home on ubuntu 11.10 by setting the CONFIG_SHELL environment variable to /bin/bash, forcing it to use the right shell. It sounds like an Ubuntu issue that should be getting fixed... You are right, though, there seems to be some breakage that configure detects shell features that are not there in the shell that gets executed. This was actually the first I heard of dash - and I found myself asking why??? Anyway, the workaround is to set CONFIG_SHELL to /bin/bash. I'll research those tickets a little more and see when the fix is expected to be there. -Ben ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
