    From Ted Thompson@VERT to Digital Man on Wed Mar 16 12:51:57 2016
    I think I found a bug, at least on a 64bit Linux system. I used the GCC compiler, and ended up with a folder named "gcc.linux.x64.release" along with others. The operative thing being the 'x64' after 'linux'. The 'sbl' script in the 'sbl' directory has a set of conditions that run the appropriate sub-folder, however none of those conditions allow for the 'x64' in the folder name.

    As a result, when I rand the door nothing happened. There was a pause and then I went right back to the Main doors menu.

    Once I found this, I renamed the sub-folders removing '.x64' from the name and once I did the door would run again.

    Just a heads up.

    Okay, thanks. That door is going away soon anyway (being replaced with a JavaScript module), but good to know.

    I think I found a bug, at least on a 64bit Linux system. I used the GCC compiler, and ended up with a folder named "gcc.linux.x64.release" along with others. The operative thing being the 'x64' after 'linux'. The 'sbl' script in the 'sbl' directory has a set of conditions that run the appropriate sub-folder, however none of those conditions allow for the 'x64' in the folder name.

    These conditions absolutely shoud, they're the same ones used to add the x64 to the directory name... specifically this bit:

    if uname -m | egrep -v "(i[3456789]*|x)86" > /dev/null
    then
    os=$os.`uname -m | tr "[A-Z]" "[a-z]" | tr " " "_"`
    fi

    On your system, presumably the command "uname -m" outputs "x64". This should then set the os variable to "linux.x64".

    The odd part is that you seem to be missing the ".exe" part. The folder name SHOULD be "gcc.linux.x64.exe.release" not "gcc.linux.x64.release".
