- I just recently got porting duties for a bunch of SCO-3.2.4 boxes, and
- being an avid bash user, want to get bash working on them. As luck
- would have it, I eventually got bash to compile with only minor
- changes to the machines.h file (diffs available for gcc compiles if
- you want them...They aren't much good right now). The only problem is
- that bash hangs after every command, and sometimes cores when it is
- through. My milage varies according to what compiler I use. I am
- currently trying to get bash to work with GCC-2.3.1. No luck yet. I
- have tried cc, and rcc both to no avail.
-
- If anyone has gotten bash to work with or without POSIX job control on
- a SCO-3.2.4 box, I would be most appreciative if you could send me
- some help on how you did it. I will try looking more into this myself as
- soon as I can get GDB ported :-).

- Thanks...
