Compiling the ash386 shell

[Mark Hobley]

I have downloaded the ash386 shell from the following location:

ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/shells/ash-linux-0.2.tar.gz

I have extracted the source tarball and made the package directory
current.

make
cc -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -m386 -DSHELL -I/usr/include/bsd -I. -s
-lbsd mkinit.c -o mkinit
mkinit.c: In function 'main':

Does anyone know how to build this? It looks like it is looking for some
sort of bsd library.

Mark.

That distribution is over 15 years old. I suspect a more recent version
would compile.

This shell version is used by the T2 distribution build kit, which is
only a couple of years old, so it must have compiled fairly recently.

I'll have a hunt through the T2 archive, and see if I can work out what
goes on during the ebuild process.

Right. It looks like there are a series of light patches to this. I
managed to apply these, and compile a working shell.
