Hi there,
I am attempting to move away from cygwin and over to these tools. One of the problems that I have run into concerns the behavior of bash.
Under Linux and Cygwin a command like " echo /tmp/*.*" would echo all of the files contained in /tmp. The version of bash that I downloaded just echos " /tmp/*.*"
How might I change this? I have downloaded the source so if there is something I need to set and recompile...

The configure didn' t pickup that it was to specify USE_POSIX_GLOB_LIBRARY for the compile. I don' t know why it doesn' t show up in the configure script.
If you have the source then edit the Makefile and go to the line that has " -D_ALL_SOURCE" and add " -DUSE_POSIX_GLOB_LIBRARY" to that line. Then do a " make clean; make; make install" and things should go fine.
I' m going to post these changes to the web & ftp site in the next hour so that anyone getting ' bash' fresh won' t run into the problem (this is to the binary and source versions).
