Could not compile sample project on macOS

[vbauer]

@thinkyhead Hello Scott, I've tried the following:

1. Cloned https://github.com/thinkyhead/bAtariBasic
2. Run: cd source && make // To compile bB
3. Run: cd .. && mkdir bB
4. Copied 2600basic, optimize, posprocess, preprocess tools to "bB" folder
5. Copied "includes" folder to "bB" folder
6. Copied 2600basic.sh to "bB" folder
7. Changed all usages of tools to my compiled versions (ex: "posprocess" was changed to "./posprocess")
8. Copied "samples/draw.bas" to "bB" folder
   10 Finally, run "./2600basic.sh draw.bas"

The result:

➜  bB git:(master) ✗ ./2600basic.sh draw.bas
Starting build of draw.bas
bAtariBASIC v1.1 (c)2005-2017
./2600basic.sh: line 9: 50042 Done                    ./preprocess < "$1"
     50043 Segmentation fault: 11  | ./2600basic -i . > bB.asm
Compilation failed.

Could you please help me with this issue?

I'm really sorry, maybe my question is extremely inappropriate.. I've tried to re-compile project using gcc with -g option to find the reason of segmentation fault (but I don't know c lang and gdb) and got the following result:

The same situation without gdb:

Maybe, this information will be useful.. Probably I have some problem with "preprocessor" tool, but I'm not sure

Well, you feed gdb with the output of preprocess, better run preprocess without pipe ./preprocess <draw.bas >draw.asm, start gdb alone run 2600basic <draw.asm and finally backtrace after the exception...
