Errors in bash with if statements

Hello everyone,
I got this type of error when programming in bash
new.bat: 16: cannot create : Directory nonexistent
$bool
new.bat: 37: Syntax error: "then" unexpected (expecting "fi")
Does anyone know why?
Here is my code

#!bin/bash
#function helps(){
#echo "$ compile -o filename -clean -backup - archive -help cfilenames"
#echo "-o Filename : the mandatory argument that indicates the compiled executable name."
#echo "-clean : remove all.o files in backup"
#echo "-backup : copy all files in Backup folder from C"
#echo "-archive : tar the Source directory and move the tar to Backup folder"
#echo "-help : display this help information"
#}
s1='h'
s2='clean'
s3='backup'
s4='archive'
bool=''
echo $1 >File.txt
grep "o " File.txt > $bool
echo '$bool'
if [ bool = '' ];
then
rm -f -r File.txt
echo "Argument -o is mandatory"
echo "help menu"
echo "$ compile -o filename -clean -backup - archive -help cfilenames"
echo "-o Filename : the mandatory argument that indicates the compiled executable name."
echo "-clean : remove all.o files in backup"
echo "-backup : copy all files in Backup folder from C"
echo "-archive : tar the Source directory and move the tar to Backup folder"
echo "-help : display this help information"
fi
if [ bool != ''];
then
rm -f -r File.txt
echo "write the path of your C file please."
read filename
gcc filename $1
if[$s1=$1 -o $s1=$s2 -o $s1=$3 -o $s1=$4 -o $s1=$5];
then
echo "help menu"
echo "$ compile -o filename -clean -backup - archive -help cfilenames"
echo "-o Filename : the mandatory argument that indicates the compiled executable name."
echo "-clean : remove all.o files in backup"
echo "-backup : copy all files in Backup folder from C"
echo "-archive : tar the Source directory and move the tar to Backup folder"
echo "-help : display this help information"
fi
if[$s2=$1 -o $s2=$s2 -o $s2=$3 -o $s2=$4 -o $s2=$5];
then
cd ~/Projects/Store/Backup
rm -f -r *.o
fi
if[$s3=$1 -o $s3=$2 -o $s3=$3 -o $s3=$4 -o $s3=$5 -o $s3=$6];
then
cd ~/Projects/Store/Build1/Source/C
mv -f *.o *.h ~/Projects/Store/Backup
fi
if[$s4=$1 -o $s4=$2 -o $s4=$3 -o $s4=$4 -o $s4=$5 -o $s4=$6];

echo(3XCURSES)						  X/Open Curses Library Functions					    echo(3XCURSES)

NAME

       echo, noecho - enable/disable terminal echo

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include  -L	/usr/xpg4/lib 
	-R  /usr/xpg4/lib  -lcurses  [ library... ]

       c89 [ flag... ] file... -lcurses [ library... ]

       int echo(void);

       int noecho(void);

DESCRIPTION

       The  echo()  function enables Echo mode for the current screen. The noecho() function disables Echo mode for the current screen. Initially,
       curses software echo mode is enabled and hardware echo mode of the tty driver is disabled. The echo() and noecho() functions control  soft-
       ware echo only. Hardware echo must remain disabled for the duration of the application, else the behavior is undefined.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, these functions return OK. Otherwise, they return ERR.

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.
