Re: install.sh failure on macOS

[Oleg Terentiev]

Yes, it can be problem. For example, i have VM with Lubuntu 14.10 (2015y). There isn't variable BASH. Variable SHELL=/bin/bash but /bin/sh used default in terminal is link to dash (/bin/dash)

Just try to change it in any ansy-text editor.

To Community: may be change it in script? To /bin/bash (always predictable behavior) or /bin/sh (always exist) ?

 Greetings all,

 Great to see activity on this list again! SE (through ELJ) was one of
 my favourite projects from the early 2000s.

 Tried installing the compiler on macOS and install.sh failed in
 bootstrap(). Does install.sh assume a Linux-like environment?

install.sh is a bash script, finding the executable with the shabang
#!/usr/bin/env bash

My machines has GNU bash, version 5.1.8

MacOS ships with a completely outdated version of bash, 14 years old:
see https://itnext.io/upgrading-bash-on-macos-7138bd1066ba

The issues could arise from this mismatch, but as I don't have access to
a MacOS machine I can't be sure.
