Convert this Windows script so I can use it on Macbook

Hi guys,

I am been banging my head for days on something that appears too simple to be so hard for me.

I have this bash script which I used just fine on my windows PC.

I took this file over to my Macbook and try to run it and it fails like no tomorrow.

This is the contents of the file:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
 
GM=$1
 
 
if [ "$1" == "-h" -o "$1" == "--help" -o "$#" -ne 1 ] ; then
  echo "$0 <GM_IPaddr> "
  echo " Provide the IP address of the Grid Master as the one argument to this command"
  exit 1
fi
 
 
wget --no-check-certificate https://${GM}/api/dist/CPA<wbr ></wbr>N/authors/<wbr ></wbr>id/SHARK
 
PerlPkg=`cat SHARK| grep "tar.gz" | awk -F'"' '{print $2}'`
PDIR=`echo $PerlPkg | sed 's/.tar.gz//'`
 
wget --no-check-certificate https://${GM}/api/dist/CPA<wbr ></wbr>N/authors/<wbr ></wbr>id/SHARK/$<wbr ></wbr>{PerlPkg}
 
tar xzvf $PerlPkg
 
mv $PerlPkg $PDIR
 
rm -f SHARK
 
cd $PDIR
   pwd
   /usr/bin/perl ./Makefile.PL
   /usr/bin/make
   /usr/bin/make test
   /usr/bin/make install
cd ..
 
##### End Script #####

Would someone be so kind into converting this so I can run it on my Macbook.

I may be wrong....
I think Mountain Lion using curl options using that URL bombs out until i am able to download a file named "SHARK"

Other errors seem to be due to MacOS being picky about arguments.

For example, it looks like it require the 'dash' prefix to the tar arguments, whereas any other normal Unix system does not.

Thank you in advance !

atf-sh

ATF-SH(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 ATF-SH(1)

NAME

     atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs

SYNOPSIS

     atf-sh script

DESCRIPTION

     atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library.

     atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL.  atf-sh executes the inter-
     preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script.  You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not
     use any non-standard extensions.

     The following options are available:

     -s shell	  Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL.

ENVIRONMENT

     ATF_LIBEXECDIR    Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located.  Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes.
     ATF_PKGDATADIR    Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located.  Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes.
     ATF_SHELL	       Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts.  Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a
		       specific interpreter.

EXAMPLES

     Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with:

	   #! /usr/bin/env atf-sh

     Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh.  Instead, you have to hardcode
     the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter:

	   #! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash

ENVIRONMENT

     ATF_SHELL	  Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts.
