Description Gilles Dartiguelongue 2015-12-30 23:52:32 UTC 
checking for fop... no
configure: WARNING: fop not found. You will not be able to generate PDF files.
configure: WARNING:
        fop-ttfreader not found, using the default Japanese fonts.

./configure: 2764: [: -lt: unexpected operator

This is because configure.ac is using a bash specific construct:

if [[ $fop_version -lt 2 ]]; then
Comment 1 John Ralls 2015-12-31 16:46:55 UTC 
Does changing it to
  if [ test $fop_version -lt 2 ]; then
work for you?
Comment 2 John Ralls 2016-01-01 20:36:14 UTC 
No, it's not bash-specific, but it is Bourne shell specific. If using `test` fixes if for you, great, I've pushed that fix. If not you'll need to install a Bourne-compliant shell and either link it to /bin/sh or set $CONFIG_SHELL to point to it.
Comment 3 Gilles Dartiguelongue 2016-01-01 23:19:56 UTC 
using just:

if test $fop_version -lt 2; then

works for me. I wanted to prepare a patch using AS_IF like my recent gnucash patch but it needs more work than I currently have time for so this simple fix is ok for me.
