# Bash on Android

A makefile that patches & cross-compiles bash 4.4-beta to Android (on

ARM, but that's configurable).

This is not a "port" or a fork. We simply produce a cross-compiled

stand-alone executable. bash itself is kept pristine w/o behavioral

modifications.

## Prerequisites

* Android NDK (tested w/ r10e)

* Linux (tested on Fedora 23)

* GNU Make

## Compile

	$ git clone ...

	$ mkdir tmp && cd tmp

	$ wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-4.4-beta.tar.gz

The arm target:

	$ ../bash-on-android/bash-on-android compile

This presumes that the NDK was installed in

`/opt/s/android-ndk-r10e`. If not, set the correct path via a command

line override:

	$ ../bash-on-android/bash-on-android compile NDK=my/android-ndk/installation

If the cross-compilation succeeds, `build-arm-bash-4.4-beta/bash`

appears:

	$ file build-arm-bash-4.4-beta/bash

	build-arm-bash-4.4-beta/bash: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, not stripped

## Installation

	$ adb push build-arm-bash-4.4-beta/bash /system/bin

Don't put it in `/sdcard`; the 1st partition of the card is usually

formatted w/ FAT32 & your ROM may mount it w/o execute access.
