Hi!
	Though very high praise from my friends, I have not been able
to compile bash successfully on our computer(s), maybe due to different
hardware (error not showing up on their 68030 SYSV computer).

After a "make", the following pops up:

	gcc -traditional -c  -g -Di386 -DTARGET=i386 -DSYSV -I./ jobs.c
nojobs.c: In function wait_for:
nojobs.c:168: invalid lvalue in assignment
*** Error code 1

Stop.

I have bash version 1.04

My equipment & environment:

HW: Convergent SPC-200, 80386, 8M RAM
SW: CTIX 2.20 (Unix V.3 (?))
    Compiler: GNU cc 1.35, also tried with standard cc with same result.

Also tried on std. PC running Interactive System Unix (V.3.2) with
std. cc with same result.

I suspect an error in the "jobs.h" file, as I spotted an "else" clause
with a comment which may be misleading with respect to what is before
and after the "else": however, I do not know the definitions
sufficiently to pinpoint an error.

Hope to get help from you.


Sincerely,

Inge Chr. Nagelhus
