#76 /configure[2413]: ${ac_default_prefix/prefix}/bashdb/bashdb-main.inc: bad substitution

[roze]

I like to ask you about bashdb compability...
I am running AIX 7.2 with bash 5 and first trouble is configure
.
bash-5.0# ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/linux/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /usr/linux/bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk... nawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking whether make supports nested variables... yes
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
./configure[2413]: ${ac_default_prefix/prefix}/bashdb/bashdb-main.inc: bad substitution

I just tried building this on AIX 7.1 which is the only thing I have available.

In the directory you have the source untarred to, try running bash ./configure --with-dbg-main=bashdb-main.inc.

With that, everything built an I was able to run the debugger as well.

But let me say, nowadays I don't have that much time and interest in bashdb on AIX 7.1. This is open source code which means you have all of the information available for you or someone else to understand what's wrong and fix.

You are righht...
./configure --with-dbg-main=bashdb-main.inc successfully ends on AIX 7.1.
I'm going to try bashdb in practice.
This issue can be closed.
