Has anyone been able to get zsh working under BeOS? I can't seem to get
anything done on the system without my favorite shell around. :)
So far, with version 3.1.6-test3, I have it kinda-working. It's worth
nothing that it compiled with a lot less effort than did 3.0.5, or 3.1.5
(which kept failing sed's during configure). Had to #undef JOB_CONTROL,
#include <sys/socket.h>, and work around the lack of link() in
lockhistfile(). After that, I seem to be stuck in waitforpid() and
waitjob().
I made a little progress after noting that kill(pid, 0), does not return
ESRCH for a non-existant process, but returns EINVAL instead, so I worked
around that in waitforpid() and killjb().
Now, I'm stuck. When running a command from the prompt, it loops in
waitjob(), as jn->stat is never cleared. From tracing through with bdb,
it looks almost like handler() isn't getting called on SIGCHLD, and I
can't seem to find an explanation for that.
I haven't quite run out of things to try, but I figured I'd ask around
for hints or in case anyone had already done the work, before I really
started digging into it.
