Compiling GNU Bourne Again SHell (bash) on SUN OS

[Howard Weiss]

I've got a copy of the Bourne Again SHell (bash) - version 1.05 that
I can't compile on a SUN 3 running OS4.1.  I have compiled this version
on a 386 running Interactive 386/ix (SYSV 3.2).

On the SUN, the make file says that its compiling for a SUN 3 running
OS 4, but has problems with the bash-Makefile (fixed by commenting out
the offending lines which are setting up stuff to build backup files) and
then has problems with compiling y.tab.c (which is the result of running
yacc on parse.y).  I have already gotten and included all the latest
patches for this version and have sent off a message to bug-bash but
have not heard anything.

Has anyone had this problem and/or does anyone know of a fix.  I'm not
versed in yacc (and don't really want to be).

Thanks,

Howard Weiss
