It sounds like an Ubuntu issue that should be getting fixed... It's almost certainly a bug in Ubuntu autotools. But if it's an Ubuntu issue that has persisted through two freaking years then it'd be nice of us to have a workaround. There's got to be some workaround - we build lots of automake-based apps here, bootstrap included, and I've never bumpted into this myself before. > 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??? Efficiency. bash adds lots of fun fancy options to your shell; dash implements only the POSIX Bourne Shell behavior and so is 10% the size. This is apparently significant for things like distribution startup scripts that spawn a ton of shells. > Anyway, the workaround is to set CONFIG_SHELL to /bin/bash.
