It would be best if we simply checked for the use of dash and threw an error to the effect of "please use bash or compatible shell when sourcing oe-init-build-env". 74889 1 brian.avery 2017-07-08 19:57:32 +0000 perhaps we could check to see if it acts like bash or dash. e.g. if [ "$RANDOM" != "" ]; then echo "I am bash" else echo " I am dash" fi 79588 2 stephano 2018-02-24 18:54:00 +0000 This is a bug. It's also a simple change and should make M4. 81120 3 JPEWhacker 2018-07-17 01:57:32 +0000 I just tried this with dash 0.5.9, and it appeared to work correctly (at least I was able to source the environment script and start a core-image-minimal build). Do you have an example of the errors that were being generated? 81169 4 sjolley.yp.pm 2018-07-23 20:39:08 +0000 Joshua, Stephano has left the Yocto Team, so has Brian, so if this work for you why don't you close it as works for me. Thanks, Stephen 81715 5 JPEWhacker 2018-10-03 15:41:41 +0000 This appears to work with dash 0.5.9. This can be reopened if it is determined that we need to work with an older version. 82790 6 jacob.kroon 2019-01-14 21:43:28 +0000 On ubuntu 9 using dash, it does work when run from the same directory as the script lives in, but not otherwise. 82791 7 jacob.kroon 2019-01-14 21:43:55 +0000 Sorry, I meant debian 9. 83737 8 JPEWhacker 2019-05-08 13:49:51 +0000 Let's add a check in the init script so that it will fail early and loudly if dash is used and the CWD isn't correct. 84985 9 JPEWhacker 2019-09-16 18:28:11 +0000 Fixed in 09923bbf467612a481a058d35f3717189b72477f ("oe-init-build-env: Error out when failed to locate cwd")
