- if _mkfifo cannot be found, add "-DMKFIFO_MISSING" to SYSDEP_CFLAGS in
- your machine's entry in machines.h.
-
- If bash compiles, but hangs when executing a non-builtin, there is a
- problem with the defines in your /usr/include/sys/wait.h. If you
- don't have one, there is a problem in our defines. At any rate,
- perhaps you have a partially POSIX system, instead of a fully
- operational one. Try defining _POSIX_SOURCE just before the inclusion
- of <sys/wait.h> in jobs.h, and then undefining it immediately after
- the inclusion.
-
- Finding out if your system has something (like setpgid, for example)
- You can always do "nm -o /lib/*.a | grep setpgid". If an entry for
- the function appears, you have it, and you might have to link with
- that library by adding "#defined REQUIRED_LIBRARIES -lfoo" to the
- entry in machines.h.
-
- If you seem to be going around in circles, and they are related to
- job control and posixness, try #undef HAVE_UNISTD_H in the entry for
- your machine in machines.h. This can work by keeping unistd.h from
- defining _POSIX_VERSION, which in turn prevents bash from assuming
- full Posix semantics.
