I attempted to unmask ksh and install it on my SGI Octane with a current toolchain. <snip> From the end of the emerge ksh </snip> >>> /usr/share/locale/fudd/LC_MESSAGES/libshell >>> /usr/share/locale/fudd/LC_TIME >>> /bin/ksh93 -> /bin/ksh >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... >>> app-shells/ksh-93.20040229 merged. >>> Recording app-shells/ksh in "world" favorites file... >>> clean: No packages selected for removal. >>> Auto-cleaning packages ... >>> No outdated packages were found on your system. * GNU info directory index is up-to-date. So it looked like it completed succesfully. But there is no ksh binary: ls -al /bin/ | grep ksh lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Feb 18 12:20 ksh93 -> /bin/ksh Would it be possible to have someone look into getting this to build correctly for gentoo ~mips? I have a few users that are die hard ksh users. sgimips01 ~ # emerge --info Portage 2.0.51.22-r3 (default-linux/mips/mips64/2006.0, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r0, 2.6.13.4-mipscvs-20050914-ip30r10k+ mips64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.13.4-mipscvs-20050914-ip30r10k+ mips64 R12000 V2.3 FPU V0.0 Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 dev-lang/python: 2.3.4-r1, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.16 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="mips" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="mips-unknown-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -mips4 -mabi=32" CHOST="mips-unknown-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mips4 -mabi=32" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache distlocks sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/pub/linux/gentoo ftp://gentoo.mirrors.pair.com/" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="mips berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 expat fortran gdbm gpm libwww ncurses nls pam perl python readline sdl ssl tcpd truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, MAKEOPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
Patches are welcome. Note that ksh does not have any mips keywords, therefore it is unsupported at the moment.
As said above...
