Bug ID: 16528 Summary: Binutils fails to build with CONFIG_SHELL=dash Product: binutils Version: 2.24 Status: NEW Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: binutils Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org Reporter: sstewartgallus00 at mylangara dot bc.ca Created attachment 7392 --> https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=7392&action=edit opcodes/config.log Binutils fails to build with the CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/dash setting for autotools. Dash is the Debian Almquist shell. I believe I am using version 0.5.7 of dash (strangely it does not seem to have a version option so I had check my package manager and I may be reading it incorrectly). Fixing this should be useful for me and possible you because dash can be faster than bash for building projects. As well, the same problems that dash has may appear with other shells. Of course, this bug could be a bug in dash. I have not fully investigated the issue. The build seems to fail after reaching the following point when making: Configuring in ./opcodes configure: loading site script /home/sstewartgallus/mine/config/autotools_config.sh configure: creating cache ./config.cache checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking target system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking for x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc... ccache gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether ccache gcc accepts -g... yes checking for ccache gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed checking for library containing strerror... none required checking for a BSD-compatible install... /home/sstewartgallus/others/src/binutils-2.24/opcodes/configure: 3282: ./configure.lineno: Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting "fi") make[1]: *** [configure-opcodes] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/sstewartgallus/temp/binutils-bug' make: *** [all] Error 2 Attached is the opcodes/config.log which should describe the problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
