Seems like your /bin/sh does not support the == operator. Strange!
Is this on a Linux system? Which distribution? Which version?
I'm not sure my use of == in ~~bin/gambc-doc.bat is portable. Does
anyone have a suggestion for a more portable equality test? Please
try this:
In ~~bin/gambc-doc.bat replace the line
if [ "" != "" ]; then
by
if test "" != ""; then
and replace the line
if [ "${GAMBC_DOC_ARG1}" == "help" ]; then
by
if test "${GAMBC_DOC_ARG1}" = "help"; then
Let me know if that works.
Marc
