    From Black Panther@21:1/186 to Apam on Thursday, July 25, 2019 13:24:44
    Hi Andrew,

    I've installed a few of the new games you've written. I like them! :) I'm jealous... :)

    Anyway, I did run into some issues with the build.sh file. It might be something with my system, but it seemed like it didn't like line 11. It wouldn't execute the make command in the odoors sub-directory. If I ran the lines in the terminal, it would work...

    Like I said, it may be something on my system, as I had to rebuild it yesterday...

    Update! If I change the shebang to use bash, it works just fine. For some reason sh doesn't like a couple of the lines...

    Looks like a script writer that assumed everyone uses BASH as their shell. :) I always put the shebang in my scripts, rather than assume it will "just work" for everyone.

    It had the shebang of #!/bin/sh, which didn't work on Debian 10. I changed it to #!/bin/bash and it worked with no problem.

    Minor inconvenience... ;)

    If I assumed bash was the shell I would have written /bin/bash. That won't work
    on freebsd because bash, if it is installed, would be in /usr/local/bin/bash. So I tried to make it compatible with sh, and it is compatible with FreeBSD's sh, just seems to not be with debians dash.

    I always use #!/bin/bash in my scripts, because /bin/sh is usually a symbolic link, and on Debian, it's generally not pointing to /bin/bash. :)

    I'd suggest FreeBSD sysadmins who have bash installed have a link in /bin/bash pointing to the actual shell binary. :)
