So feedback in case of problems is greatly appreciated. //Comment from user tkm: I don't know where else to put feedback for OSX, so please note this: //I am unable to build on MacOS, the primary error is this: //./make-e4thcom: line 42: `yes/no': not a valid identifier //Please inform me of the best way to communicate this issue.
