Bash

From wikiPodLinux

Bash is a UNIX command shell written for the GNU project. Its name is an acronym for Bourne-again shell.

Compiling for iPod

First add the line

void sh_xfree();

to the start of the file lib/sh/shmatch.c

then run

./configure --host=arm-elf LDFLAGS=-Wl,-elf2flt --with-gnu-malloc=no
make

If it gives you an error about the size command, ignore it (i'll fix this later).

Then simply copy the bash binary to your ipod's /bin directory, and make it executable

cp bash /mnt/ipodroot/bin/bash
chmod +x /mnt/ipodroot/bin/bash

No guarantees this works at all, binarys and diffs will come later.
