- Has anybody used BASH (the MiNT-aware version) to run one of the configuration
- scripts supplied for the recent versions of various GNU utilities (fileutils,
- grep, ...) ?
- Whatever I try, BASH tells me that there are syntax errors in the script.
- If I run the script via 'bash configure', I get one specific error; if I run
- it from BASH by '. configure' or 'source configure', I get a different one.
- Needless to say, if I isolate part of the script and run BASH on it, it works
- just fine.
-
- Has anybody seen this? Is it a bug in BASH? Am I doing something wrong?
-
- Thanks in advance,
-
- Jens.
