Have the same problem. Have followed the install documentation at
http://dri.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/Building:

I use bash as my interactive shell, but also tried ksh. I also use Gentoo, as
the original reporter.

What version of bash are you using (or what is /bin/sh pointing at?) maybe your
/bin/sh is ash or something not bash... maybe we need to make the makefile use
bash....

root # ls -la /bin/bash
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 704668 Jun 28 22:56 /bin/bash
root # /bin/bash --version
GNU bash, version 2.05b.0(1)-release (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
root # 

I rememrber that Gentoo is using POSIX options when compiling apps, so bash and
texttools etc. to be posixised ("head -n1" instead of "head -1" etc.). Maybe
that's the problem? This is just a guess.

can you change the SHELL=/bin/sh line in the linux/Makefile to SHELL=/bin/bash
and see if it works...

let me know...

I set it to /bin/bash -v  to get more info.

# make
uname -r
if [ -e /lib/modules/2.4.28-pre2/source ]; then echo
/lib/modules/2.4.28-pre2/source; else echo /lib/modules/2.4.28-pre2/build; fi
uname -m
if [ JavaCC @PV@ -lt 2 -o  -lt 4 ]; then echo y; fi
/bin/bash: line 1: [: too many arguments
Makefile:287: *** CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG needs to be enabled in the kernel.  Stop.
#

# set | grep Java
VERSION='JavaCC @PV@'
#

Uhhhm, what's that?

# unset VERSION
make

and all works fine. Shouldn't the script look for BASH_VERSION if at all?


linux # cp *.o /lib/modules/2.4.28-pre2/kernel/drivers/char/drm          
linux # depmod -a
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.28-pre2/kernel/drivers/char/drm/via_drv.o

Just getting back through my bugs, the VERSION string should be coming from the
Linux kernel build system not your own environment, so whatever is setting
VERSION is breaking the drm build...

we can't fix this in the makefile I don't think.... maybe make the kernel people
use KERNEL_VERSION instead of VERSION but it still wouldn't matter as the
Makefile deals with all older kernels.. so I'm marking it notourbug unless
anyone has an objection...

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61975 is the bug, caused by Gentoo's Java
maintainers.
