I cannot make it anymore.

[rikky]

Hello,

I seem to have a problem, that other people do not have, for I do not hear any complaints.
So I suppose my system is corrupt (again ;°)

./configure works:
(although I did not order any ksh)

Congratulations, all requirements are met!

- Makefile created.
- Using '/usr/bin/ksh' to compile BaCon.
- Creating the legacy BaConGUI for GTK.

Now run 'make' and 'make install' to build and install BaCon.

but then make says:

rm -f build/* build-cpp/*
./bacon.sh[120]: typeset: -A: unknown option
./bacon.sh[399]: syntax error: unexpected operator/operand '=~'
make: *** [Makefile:25: bacon] Error 1

Fortunately ./bacon.sh ./bacon.bac gives a new bacon, with indeed the version 4.7 
 
 Rik.

Hi rikky,

You probably are using a different KSH version which does not support associative arrays. There are multiple Korn Shells available, and you need the one which has a timestamp after 2012.

The following check could help you out:

$ /usr/bin/ksh --version
 version         sh (AT&T Research) 93u+m/1.0.0-beta.2 2021-12-17


So this version is able to build BaCon.

If you want to force a build with bash, you can run the 'configure' script as follows:

./configure --with-bash

Aha.
/usr/bin/ksh --version
response :
/usr/bin/ksh: /usr/bin/ksh: --: unknown option
I suppose that means very old.

Thanks.
