Hello
Zam_1234,
I have a few to questions pose in response first:-
- I'm assuming that the line numbers are not actually in your script. Is that right?
- What output/errors do you get?
- What OS and version are you using?
- What logical process have you considered? (to help steer us to follow what you are trying to achieve)
Most importantly,
What output/errors do you get?
I suspect that at some point your script is in another directory, so your
cd .. on line 12 is going wrong. You might be better to either remember the starting directory and explicity change back to that, or (if available) use
pushd &
popd to handle this for you.
If you can show us the normal output of a test run that doesn't cost you hours of waiting and also a run where you insert the line
set -x before you set the BENCH variable, then that would be good too.
If the output from the
make commands is going to be huge, push them out to a file if you want to keep them or just to
/dev/null if not, just whilst we're testing the rest of it anyway. There are no glaring errors to me.
Thanks, in advance,
Robin

WHICH(1) General Commands Manual WHICH(1)
NAME
which - shows the full path of (shell) commands.
SYNOPSIS
which [options] [--] programname [...]
DESCRIPTION
Which takes one or more arguments. For each of its arguments it prints to stdout the full path of the executables that would have been exe-
cuted when this argument had been entered at the shell prompt. It does this by searching for an executable or script in the directories
listed in the environment variable PATH using the same algorithm as bash(1).
This man page is generated from the file which.texinfo.
OPTIONS
--all, -a
Print all matching executables in PATH, not just the first.
--read-alias, -i
Read aliases from stdin, reporting matching ones on stdout. This is useful in combination with using an alias for which itself. For
example
alias which='alias | which -i'.
--skip-alias
Ignore option `--read-alias', if any. This is useful to explicity search for normal binaries, while using the `--read-alias' option in
an alias or function for which.
--read-functions
Read shell function definitions from stdin, reporting matching ones on stdout. This is useful in combination with using a shell func-
tion for which itself. For example:
which() { declare -f | which --read-functions $@ }
export -f which
--skip-functions
Ignore option `--read-functions', if any. This is useful to explicity search for normal binaries, while using the `--read-functions'
option in an alias or function for which.
--skip-dot
Skip directories in PATH that start with a dot.
--skip-tilde
Skip directories in PATH that start with a tilde and executables which reside in the HOME directory.
--show-dot
If a directory in PATH starts with a dot and a matching executable was found for that path, then print "./programname" rather than the
full path.
--show-tilde
Output a tilde when a directory matches the HOME directory. This option is ignored when which is invoked as root.
--tty-only
Stop processing options on the right if not on tty.
--version,-v,-V
Print version information on standard output then exit successfully.
--help
Print usage information on standard output then exit successfully.
RETURN VALUE
Which returns the number of failed arguments, or -1 when no `programname' was given.
EXAMPLE
The recommended way to use this utility is by adding an alias (C shell) or shell function (Bourne shell) for which like the following:
[ba]sh:
which ()
{
(alias; declare -f) | /usr/bin/which --tty-only --read-alias --read-functions --show-tilde --show-dot $@
}
export -f which
[t]csh:
alias which 'alias | /usr/bin/which --tty-only --read-alias --show-dot --show-tilde'
This will print the readable ~/ and ./ when starting which from your prompt, while still printing the full path when used from a script:
> which q2
~/bin/q2
> echo `which q2`
/home/carlo/bin/q2
BUGS
The HOME directory is determined by looking for the HOME environment variable, which aborts when this variable doesn't exist. Which will
consider two equivalent directories to be different when one of them contains a path with a symbolic link.
