Trying to configure bash

[Daniel Premo]

Hello,

I purchased a 3D printer that runs Linux and I'm trying to install bash on it.  Specifically, the printer is an Ender 3 v3 KE.  Linux runs on the Creality Nebula Pad, which is included with this printer but is also available for purchase separately.  

I downloaded and extracted this file: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-5.2.21.tar.gz and then ran ./configure .

The output told me I should update the config.guess and config.sub files, so I did.  I ran ./configure again and got the same error.  The message said I should share any information that might be pertinent.  

Here is some information I can get out of Mainsail, which is a frontend for Klipper software running on the hardware.  (I know it says rpi but I think that's misleading; Hobbyists tend to install Klipper on a Raspberry Pi but this is a device sold with Klipper preinstalled.)

Finally, below is the output when I run ./configure .

Thanks,

Daniel Premo

checking build system type... ././support/config.guess: unable to guess system type

NOTE: MIPS GNU/Linux systems require a C compiler to fully recognize

the system type. Please install a C compiler and try again.

This script (version 2024-01-01), has failed to recognize the

operating system you are using. If your script is old, overwrite *all*

copies of config.guess and config.sub with the latest versions from:

  https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git/plain/config.guess

and

  https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git/plain/config.sub

If ././support/config.guess has already been updated, send the following data and any

information you think might be pertinent to config-patches@gnu.org to

provide the necessary information to handle your system.
