Unfortunately the failure is of the # worst possible type - it simply jumps out to DOS prompt without any # error message when running config.status (invoked from configure which # is invoked from djconfig.sh). If the config.status is run directly there # is no failure. Enabling tracing (command line option -x added when # invoking config.status) shows that last printed command is 'expr 1 + 1'. # It is however possible that that the real problem is earlier. I am guessing (but only guessing) that it is related to this: http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/mail-archives/browse.cgi?p=djgpp/2006/08/08/16:37:27 I also took a shot at porting bash 3.x to DJGPP a while back but wasn't very successful. That codebase is simply doing too many operations that I don't quite understand the what/why for (mostly related to state saves and jumps).
