Re: [Bashdb-devel] bashdb 4.4-0.92: 5 tests fail

[jean-christophe m. <act...@gm...>]

Here are the details you've asked for:
bash --version
GNU bash, version 4.4.0(1)-release
on Ubuntu 16.10 4.8

You have missed the fact that the configure line with --with-bash-src=...
has been *commented out* because of the bug described in the comment
located just above it and not reported. It has no effect in this bug
report.

The log & bug reported by this mail is the consequence of the non commented
configure & make lines.
