Multiple definitions compliling error

[willb]

I will be grateful if someone can help me out here please.

I wish to make a static binary of the Bash shell. I am using the latest version of make and gcc.

I compile using the - $>export CFLAGS="-static -O2 -g" before running ./configure, upon make I end up with this error message shown at the bottom of this post every time regardless if I try and use an older version of make and gcc or older Bash source code.

Can you please tell me what to do to make the source, and if you do provide useful help can they be produced as commands that can be copy and pasted straight on to the command line please.

Many thanks
William

./configure --enable-static-link --without-bash-malloc

Might help.

Thanks,

That did the trick, though I am now confused. When I went to make install it gave me this error message.

What is confusing and can someone confirm this please, is that last step (make install) irrelevant? After running make, it finished properly, many warnings about the statically linked application requires at run time shared libraries in glibc. After make completed it gave this message at the end.

ls -l bash
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3537042 2008-09-07 00:59 bash
size bash
text data bss dec hex filename
1427214 59512 37416 1524142 1741ae bash


Does this state it has already has made the binary? When I checked the bash --version it reported the latest version, the one just compiled? The older version still resides in /bin/bash the newer in /usr/local/bin/bash.

So is it good just to leave it after make and not proceed any further with make install?

I guess the answer lies in one of the lines of the error message reported after make install,

make[1]: Nothing to be done for `install'.

Can someone please confirm this and that I am not missing something.

Thanks
William

It seems you don't have makeinfo installed. It's part of the texinfo package, try installing that and repeat the make install step. If all you plan is to get the binary to put it somewhere, then it must be somewhere under the bash source tree that you just compiled.

[willb]

I successfully installed texinfo.

I repeated the steps but upon make install I still have the same error message.

Any ideas?

Before I run make install. I can invoke the bash shell? I type bash and the prompt changes to bash-3.2$.

Thanks

[i92guboj]

Well, it's not the same (now it doesn't complain about makeinfo).

Maybe there's something odd about utf8 on your system or something. I don't really know. You could try disabling/enabling nls, the parameter is something like "--disable-nls" (or enable), I think. Add it to your configure line and try.

[willb]

Thank you, the --disable-nls appeared to have removed the ru.po errors.

I did a google search for this problem, and it appears the wrong coding was used in the po/ru.po file in early releases of bash 3.2. However, there is no mention of the KOI8 encoding in po/ru.po file for the release I downloaded. So I don't know why it still failed?

Anyway the -disable-nls switch worked. Thank you.
