Or perhaps it's trivial to port to linux; I'll have a look now. 1 Aug 03, 2022, 20:03 phoebos @phoebos@fosstodon.org @ariadne update: No, I can't find a portable version of FreeBSD sh, but maybe I didn't look hard enough. After fighting with the preprocessor and linker for a couple of hours, I finally compiled the shell, which promptly segfaults for some reason I don't understand. 1 phoebos @phoebos@fosstodon.org Follow @ariadne found one: https://github.com/chimera-linux/chimerautils/tree/master/src/sh Aug 04, 2022, 18:11 · · 0 · 0 · 0 Sign in to participate in the conversation Fosstodon is an English speaking Mastodon instance that is open to anyone who is interested in technology; particularly free & open source software.
