This is really weird.
Are you running MacOS 10.15?
The default shell was changed from bash to zsh. I don't know if a clean install of 10.15 gives you just zsh and NO bash but if that is the case then the:
#!/bin/bash
in the configure script file can't find a working bash shell to orrectly execute the script.
To check, open up Terminal and type in and execute the command "bash" [without the ""'s]. If you have a bash shell installed you'll get something like:
bash-3.2$
or some variation of that depending on the version of bash installed.
A great point. I'm not running Apple macOS 10.15 yet on the machine I'm doing this. So bash is there. I looked on my 10.15 machine and it gives a warning about "The default interactive shell is now zsh." but does run bash 3.2.
So that's not the problem. I figured it must be deeper into the code.
Then, using vim to look at the configure file I discovered that it is a dos file. I used my very handy wtch program
https://alum.mit.edu/www/toms/delila/wtch.html
to find out "what characters are in a file". This program shows the characters being used. It has saved me many many times over the years.
It confirmed that the file lines have control-M on them.
Apparently a line with just a control-M gets interepreted by bash as a weird command that it cannot find.
I removed all control-Ms (with my 'no-m' or 'nom' script, http://users.fred.net/tds/lab/ftp/nom)
Now the no-m copy nomconfigure runs:
% nomconfigure *** No flip was found flip does not exist, has PATH been set up? attempting to make it nomconfigure: ./bin/make_flip: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory *** Unable to make flip *** No ip_pascal was found
So there are other errors.
p5c is not ready for use on macOS.
