whether depending on a particular shell
But it's the most likely shell? On which *NIX-like system is bash not installed?
Just passing by and saw this, I'm no Makefile expert either ;)

Debian's default shell is dash, for performance reasons, I believe. I am not
sure whether a minimal system would install bash, these days.
On my Debian 9.0 machine, actually only three of the installed packages depend
on bash.
I don't have anything against Bash, I personally would just like to avoid
depending on one particular shell. I'm open for objections.

Ah, I did not know. Seems like you are on the right track then 👍

Debian's default /bin/sh is dash, indeed. The default user login shell is
bash. I believe indeed if you try hard you could create a minimal Debian
system without bash.
On my Debian 9.0 machine, actually only three of the installed packages depend
on bash.

It's "nice to have", to be able to build and run freedict with any
bourne-compatible shell. However, if in some Makefile specific bash-features
are needed and used, I feel depending upon bash is not a big deal. Only if one
has too much time on one's hands, one could work on reimplemting the needed
functionality in pure bourne shell code. Explicitly specifying SHELL=/bin/bash
would yield just one extra package in the list of build-time dependencies.
Just a remark here, not an objection :)
Bye,
Joost

I was reconsidering this issue. I think the remarks on "most of the systems have bash" are actually true. I would rather Since this is very low priority at the moment, I close this issue. For new code in makefiles, I do want to see POSIX and non-bash-specific code and if anybody has the time to work on tis rather simple issue, please feel free to submit a PR.
Thanks
