The output file name in Makefile has been accidentally removed. Please download the now fixed source tarball. You can also fix it yourself by modifying the ibsh rule in Makefile like this:
${CC} -o ibsh ${OBJECTS}
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Unfortunately, there is a problem in the new source release.
For a reason, so far unkown to me, ibsh wouldn't link!
Please use the binary release, since that works, as long as
i havent posted a solution.

Both the source and the binary release of ibsh v0.3a is now available. Minor bug fixes, and important new and renewed features are introduced. Please read the release notes and the changelog. An upgrade is recommended.

For those who have a hard time compiling ibsh (known problems on sid, for example), we published a binary releae, compiled on debian woody. The package also contains the source in a tarball in case you would like to read it. Read the INSTALL file for installation. The md5 checksum is:

One more thing:
The makefile of this release also features an uninstall routine, for those who changed their mind.
# make ibsh_uninstall

This release features many bugfixes, hardening everywhere possible, syslogging. It is stable and secure. Erasing illegal content is suspended, but under development.

I am sorry, but i have made a mistake by the 0.1b release. It doesnt contain the 2 configuration files. You can get them by downloading the 0.1a release, found in the Files section.

The beta release of the 0.1 version introduces major bugfixes, addressing the bug reports here at sourceforge, and at freshmeat.

The project ibsh took shape today, as i uploaded the first ever version. I fixed all bugs that i have encountered, but some still could pop up. I welcome any suggestions, comments, bug reports, etc. about Iron Bars Shell.
