[Ebolinux-devel] problems building the code

[Tomas <tom...@he...>]

Sorry for crossposting, but it seems that the mailing list activity is 
better than the Forum activity.
Below is my post from the forum. I am fairly experienced with C 
programming and embedded systems
but not a shellscript hacker, so I appreciate your help. If changing 
Linux distribution or version is the trick, i will do that.

Hi, I have recently got myself an e-box. I have downloaded the 
software, but gets problems trying to build: running cook (according to 
the readme instructions) fails with the following error message: 
 
tomas@tomas-desktop:~$ ebolinux/bin/cook eB103 standard AC 
ebolinux/bin/common: 39: shopt: not found 
ebolinux/bin/cook: 40: Syntax error: Bad for loop variable 
 
I run a bash shell in a newly installed Ubuntu Linux v7.4. 
 
Any ideas? 
 
Cheers, Tomas, Sweden (I plan to set up the e-box to monitor at least 
temperature and humidity via onewire sensors in a house)
