Building On Ubuntu

In Ubuntu 6.10, bash does not properly execute some ROCK Linux build scripts; ./scripts/Build-Pkg will abort with several segmentation faults when run with this bash binary. From what I've heard Kubuntu 6.10 and 7.04 have the same problem. To fix this, download, build and install bash from source; these instructions assume your ROCK Linux source tree is located at /usr/src/rock-linux:

cd /usr/src/rock-linux
sudo bash

./scripts/Download bash3
tar xf download/mirror/b/bash-3.2.tar.bz2
cd bash-3.2
for x in ../package/base/bash/bash3/*.patch ; do patch -p1 < $x ; done
./configure --without-bash-malloc
make

mv /bin/bash{,-orig}
cp -a bash /bin/bash

exit
sudo bash

Now you can use the ROCK Linux build scripts without errors.
