Bash Version: 4.2 Description:
I downloaded a fresh copy of bash 4.2 from the GNU project archives ( http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-4.2.tar.gz), configured with: ./configure --disable-job-control --enable-minimal-config --disable-readline (Self-Serving Explanation: I'm attempting to debug another issue with this system at the moment related to bash seemingly masking out the SIGWINCH signal and not acknowledging terminal resizing. http://serverfault.com/questions/452340 if anyone's feeling generous and wishes to take a look.) However, it seems both --disable-job-control and --enable-minimal-config break the build. Specifically, using --enable-minimal-config seems to disable aliases. This causes an error in parse.y: /Users/chet/src/bash/src/parse.y: In function 'shell_getc': /Users/chet/src/bash/src/parse.y:2399: error: label 'pop_alias' used but not defined make: *** [y.tab.o] Error 1 Looking at parse.y, the problem seems pretty clear. The label `pop_alias' is not defined if ALIAS is not defined. However, about 15 lines down there is a `goto_popalias' statement with no such condition. The issue with --disable-job-control seems like it may be similar, however I did not take the time to look any further in to it. execute_cmd.c: In function 'execute_pipeline': execute_cmd.c:2205: error 'job_control' undeclared (first use in this function) Repeat-By: * Download a copy of bash 4.2. * Configure with either or both of '--disable-job-control' and '--enable-minimal-config'. * Attempt to build. Replicated on Debian and Ubuntu. Unfortunately I don't have access to any other family of OS at the moment to ensure this isn't related to that somehow, however it doesn't seem like it would be.
