Installation of Bash
Bash has a number of bugs in it that cause it to not behave the
way it is expected at times. Fix this behaviour with the following
patch:
patch -Np1 -i ../bash-&bash-patch-version;.patch
./configure --prefix=/stage1 \
--with-curses
make
make tests
make install
ln -s bash /stage1/bin/sh
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)
then that means that you are probably using Debian-2.2 (potato), and
that you have an old version of the texinfo package and the info pages
can't be installed at this time. This error is not a problem as 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.
