From: John Kelly on 6 Aug 2010 05:53 I compiled bash 4.1 on Interix and process substitution works with backquotes, but not with $(...), I get an error message. Any ideas? -- Web mail, POP3, and SMTP http://www.beewyz.com/freeaccounts.php

Good idea. And I meant command substitution, not process substitution. I tried to compile bash 4.0, but it wants autoconf, which wants m4 and perl. I built m4-1.4.11, but no joy with perl 5.8.9, 5.10.1, or 5.12.1. bash 4.1 builds without autoconf, but gives $(...) error. ># cat data >abc ># echo `cat data` >abc ># echo $(cat data) >bash: command substitution: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `)' >bash: command substitution: line 2: `cat data)' -- Web mail, POP3, and SMTP http://www.beewyz.com/freeaccounts.php

I later got Perl 5.12.1 built and installed on Interix 3.5 (Windows XP). Two tests were hanging: cpan/autodie/t/recv.t cpan/Tie-File/t/14_lock.t So I deleted those tests and removed them from MANIFEST. Then I got: >Failed 15 tests out of 1678, 99.11% okay. but forged ahead with "make install" anyway. Then I ran my own little test script, and it worked. So despite the test failures, maybe Perl on Interix will be good enough for light use on a Windows box. It's cool running unix tools on Windows box with a "real" (more or less) unix subsystem, as opposed to Cygwin. -- Web mail, POP3, and SMTP http://www.beewyz.com/freeaccounts.php |
