My mileage with the savannah bash code (4.3.27 is still current): Installs have been pretty straightforward; I get unicode errors 'cause I don't bother setting up utf-8. OpenBSD 5.5 (amd64) "make tests" gives apx 1000 unicode errors OpenBSD 5.0 (amd64) ditto OS-X 10.6.8 "make tests" gives 1 line unicode mismatch xubuntu 14.04.1 (amd64) "make tests" gives apx 100 unicode errors These are fairly vanilla systems; had installed bison on the openbsds, and a few libraries, but I don't think they were needed for this. The only system with a real compromise was OS-X, the /bin/sh being a bash. (OpenBSD ships with bash uninstalled in any case; ksh for users and sh is sh.) cheers, Douglas On 30/09/14 3:10 AM, Douglas Ray wrote:
The latest bash patchlevel 27 (a day and a half ago) at savannah seems to fix things - 4.3.27 (yes, anonymous checkout).
[back up your originals] git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/bash.git ./configure make make test sudo make install
(default install is in /usr/local/bin/, you probably want it in /bin)
I'd be interested to know on which systems this compiles / tests without errors.
