Bash Version: 4.4 Patch Level: 12 Release Status: release Description: I'm trying to do a Cygwin build of the bash git repo at bminor/bash on github. The configure (no options) and make (no options) finish successfully, but the build fails when doing $()-style command substitutions, claiming that the trailing paren is unexpected: % echo $(echo hiya) bash: command substitution: line 9: syntax error near unexpected token `)' bash: command substitution: line 9: `echo hiya)' % Note that other approaches to command substitution seem to work: % echo $(echo hiya > ) hiya % % echo `echo hiya` hiya % Repeat-By: Install cygwin (ver 3.1.0-1) Install cygwin-devel (ver 3.1.0-1) Install autoconf2.5 (ver 2.69-4) Install autoconf (ver 13-1) git clone https://github.com/bminor/bash.git cd bash ./configure make ./bash echo $(echo hiya)
