Porting a shell script from Solaris to Linux

Question

This should be pretty straightforward, but am not sure what it is complaining about.

type=${1-"-Debug"};
version=${2-"-0"};
echo "We are going to be building eValuate in build mode: " $type
if [[ $version = -1 ]]
  then
  echo "We are going to be building eValuate with omniORB-4.1.4"
  else
  echo "We are going to be building eValuate with omniORB-4.0.4"
fi
if [ $PLATFORM = "HPUX" ]
then
    if [ $type = -release ]
    then
      export MAKEFILE_MAIN=$PWD/common/makefile/makefile.hp
      export MAKEFILE_DEFS=$PWD/common/makefile/makefile.hp.rls
      shift
    else
      export MAKEFILE_MAIN=$PWD/common/makefile/makefile.hp
      export MAKEFILE_DEFS=$MAKEFILE_MAIN
    fi

    elif [ $PLATFORM = "AIX" ]
    then
       mv $PWD/Calculations/CalculationSTD/makefileAIX $PWD/Calculations/CalculationSTD/makefile
       mv $PWD/Calculations/CalculationSTD/StandardCalculationAIX.cpp     $PWD/Calculations/CalculationSTD/StandardCalculation.cpp
       rm -r $PWD/Calculations/CalculationSTD/Carleton
       if [ $type = -release ]
       then
         export MAKEFILE_MAIN=$PWD/common/makefile/makefile.aix
         export MAKEFILE_DEFS=$PWD/common/makefile/makefile.aix.rls
         shift
      else
     export MAKEFILE_MAIN=$PWD/common/makefile/makefile.aix
     export MAKEFILE_DEFS=$MAKEFILE_MAIN
      fi
  fi

This seems to work fine on Solaris and AIX, but on Linux, I get this error messages:

   : command not found 1:
   : command not found 2:
   We are going to be building eValuate in build mode:  -release
   ./setpath.sh1: line 22: syntax error near unexpected token `elif'
   '/setpath.sh1: line 22: `       elif [ $PLATFORM = "AIX" ]

Why does it not like the elif? Or, is it complaining about something else?

Answer 1

Got the answer finally, it is thanks to something completely random, something to do with format:

I had transferred the file over from my windows machine, and I guess Linux is just a bitch that can't handle it. Solaris and AIX do just fine.

Used this command. dos2unix *.sh
