What we will need to make porting easier is a fished port of
bash. digulla has an initial port of bash 2.04-1. There is a comment that
the version that tao has will not even compile. Haven't tested this
myself. As Mark noted make files quite often have shell commands in
them. If a project is even slightly complex with several directories, you
will see a make file that will not work on Ami.
Configure is another tool that REQUIRES bash (sh). There are several tools
that I have attempted to port but got bogged down in the details of trying
to find out what macros should be defined to get it to build correctly on
Ami. If configure would run, most of the work would be done.
Anyone else interested in working on bash? I see no one has touched the
cvs archive in 7 weeks.
