MAKE errors when trying to compile in Ubuntu 9.10

MAKE errors when trying to compile in Ubuntu 9.10

[Dieter R Kedrowitsch]

Greetings!  I am trying to compile ELKS from the archive 
elks-0.1.3.tar.gz and I am experiencing an error during make that I have 
never seen before.  I am using bin86 0.16.17 on a pretty much stock 
installation of Ubuntu 9.10.

This is just a small snippet of an error that is repeated many times 
when I run make to 'make dep'.

printf: 1: $[0x000103-1]: expected numeric value
printf: 1: $[0x000103-1]: expected numeric value
printf: 1: $[0x000103-1]: expected numeric value
boot/setup.S:588: error: macro names must be identifiers
make[2]: *** [boot/setup.s] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/elks/arch/i86'
make[1]: *** [Image] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/elks'
make: *** [elks] Error 2

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

This looks like your shell doesn't like some particular printf syntax.
Doesn't Ubuntu use dash as /bin/sh? Try setting it to bash

 I can confirm this on Debian with dash. The problem goes away as soon as
/bin/sh is switched from dash to bash.

Switching from dash to bash solved that problem, thanks!

However, now I'm running into a different issue when building.  It seems 
BCC isn't happy with xt_key.c....

Has anyone seen this before?

Looks like arch/i86/drivers/char/KeyMaps/mkcfg is the culprit. Edit that file
and change "sort +1f" to "sort -f" Then remove
arch/i86/drivers/char/KeyMaps/Config.in and on make config it should regenerate
Config.in and fix the issue.

Great, thanks so much for the help!  That worked, and I'm getting close, 
but again I come to another stumbling block further along the make 
process.
