<title>Installation of Bash</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Before you attempt to install Bash, you have to check to make sure
|
|
your distribution has the <filename>/usr/lib/libcurses.a</filename> and
|
|
<filename>/usr/lib/libncurses.a</filename> files. If your host
|
|
distribution is an LFS system, all files will be present if you followed
|
|
the instructions of the book version you read exactly.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If both of the files are missing, you have to install the Ncurses
|
|
development package. This package is often called something like
|
|
<emphasis>ncurses-dev</emphasis>. If this package is already installed,
|
|
or you just installed it, check for the two files again. Often the
|
|
<filename>libcurses.a</filename> file is (still) missing. If so, then
|
|
create <filename>libcurses.a</filename> as a symlink by running the
|
|
following commands as user root:</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><screen><userinput>ln -s libncurses.a /usr/lib/libcurses.a</userinput></screen></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Now we can continue. Install Bash by running the following
|
|
commands:</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><screen><userinput>./configure --enable-static-link \
|
|
--prefix=$LFS/static --with-curses &&
|
|
make &&
|
|
make install</userinput></screen></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the <userinput>make install</userinput> phase ends with something
|
|
along the lines of this:</para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><screen>install-info: unknown option `--dir-file=/mnt/lfs/usr/info/dir'
|
|
usage: install-info [--version] [--help] [--debug] [--maxwidth=nnn]
|
|
[--section regexp title] [--infodir=xxx] [--align=nnn]
|
|
[--calign=nnn] [--quiet] [--menuentry=xxx]
|
|
[--info-dir=xxx]
|
|
[--keep-old] [--description=xxx] [--test]
|
|
[--remove] [--] filename
|
|
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
|
|
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/usr/src/bash-&bash-version;/doc'
|
|
make: [install] Error 2 (ignored)</screen></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<para>then that means that you are probably using Debian-2.2 (potato), and
|
|
that you have an old version of the texinfo package. This error is not
|
|
severe by any means: the info pages will be installed when we recompile bash
|
|
dynamically in Chapter 6, so you can ignore it. It is reported that the
|
|
current release of Debian (3.0; also known as Woody) doesn't have this
|
|
problem.</para>
