Thanks for that. It puts my poor little scripts to shame. Just before
your reply came in, I finally managed to get the wildcards working
correctly by adding another ??. I also found that it helps considerably
when the correct suffix is specified, otherwise the poor script can not
extract the archive, which in turn means that $PROGRAM can never be set
correctly.
I need to get these scripts done, as I am now building often enough that
I am getting sick of copying and pasting. Once they are all done then I
will duplicate them and have one set for doing a permanent install and
the other for doing the calculations.
If you want, I can tar up all my scripts and send them to you.
I am now trying to save up to get a desktop computer. Looking at your
base_sbu highlights just how slow my laptop is. It probably won't be
more than a quad core that I get as I will also need to get a monitor.
That sbu time is with a core2duo (3.2 GHz) from about 2009. I always do
my sbu timing at -j1 for consistency so the number of cores doesn't
matter that much.
