%general-entities; ]> Bash-&bash-version; Bash temporary system Installation of Bash Fix a minor issue during the build when cross-compiling: cp Makefile.in Makefile.in.orig sed -e "s@size \$(Program)@${LFS_TARGET}-&@g" Makefile.in.orig > Makefile.in ./configure --prefix=/tools --with-curses \ --without-bash-malloc --host=${LFS_TARGET} The meaning of the configure options: --with-curses This option allows linking to Ncurses. --without-bash-malloc This options turns off the use of Bash's memory allocation (malloc) function which is known to cause segmentation faults. By turning this option off, Bash will use the malloc function from Glibc which are more stable. Make a link for the programs that use sh for a shell: ln -s bash /tools/bin/sh <para>Details on this package are located in <xref linkend="contents-bash" role="."/></para> </sect2> </sect1>
