From Dash to Bash

Hi guys, i'm new and i'm trying to build LFS using linux mint 12 - Lisa - LXDE. Using version-check.sh i found i have dash instead of bash. I searched online and i've found that dash will be a source of trouble. So my question is: how can i change from dash to bash?

However i have another question: if i type "echo $0" i have " /bin/bash". Is it correct?

Thanks for answers.

Hi

If the version check test failed then

Code:

rm -v /bin/sh

Code:

ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh

You can post the output of version-check if unsure

This is the output of version-check.sh:

You can see bin/dash: but when i type echo..

/bin/bash

Code:

echo $SHELL

also you need to fix version-check.sh: line 30: makeinfo: command not found
Texinfo:

The output of the script shows dash /bin/sh -> /bin/dash

here it is:

simone-su@netbook ~ $ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash

Thats interesting, Although i would make the system meet the requirements to be safe. Maybe someone can explain!

Zimo	09-22-2012 11:46 AM

I fixed makeinfo installing texinfo. So i can try to continue with this background?

EDIT: i've tried using version-check on ubuntu 10.04 ( same computer, other partition ) and the result is the same!

I would change the dash to bash so the script clears all failures to be on safe side, that is what I would do, unless someone can confirm that it will work. If you leave it You might end up with trouble

Zimo	09-22-2012 11:59 AM

I'm sorry, you mean installing bash or simply changing directory name?

Change link as I posted earlier

Zimo	09-23-2012 03:19 AM

Ok! Link, not directory name..thanks. However, maybe i'll try and i'll tell you. I spent time in last days beginning the build, but i stopped just after glibc due to link issues: can these two things be connected?

I would start again your not that far in lets get it right from the beginning

Zimo	09-23-2012 03:29 AM

Of course. I erased everything on that partition and start again from the beginning.

Zimo	10-02-2012 12:11 PM

Spiky, it worked.
