An available bash 4.2 for KT

[silverzhao]

The default bash on KT is a symbolic link to bushbox, and it's not very comfortable to use, such as no readline, no reverse-search, etc.

So I've compiled one for KT and it works well. If you are interested, maybe you can have a try.

--EDIT--
Here is the source: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-4.2.tar.gz
and you may need the patch from here.

       if (lstdin > 0)

I compiled it with:

$ patch < m.patch
$ CC=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc ./configure --host=arm-linux --target=arm-linux --enable-history --enable-readline --without-bash-malloc

Thanks. can you provide a link back to the original source as well please for those of us who like to tinker

EDIT: Thanks

Okay I attached one that should work fine on the 3's also.
HTH.

$ ./configure --host=i686-pc-linux --build=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --enable-history --enable-readline --without-bash-malloc

http://bit.ly/kBash. it's a bit flaky and needs base64 support to do the splash screen.

playing with it though. reset issues ATM so not ready for end users.
