Fail when bc is not found #3

At least with --enable-spellers.

Presently it just returns no, which is not nice - gives surprising results during compilation.

flammie commented 3 years ago

I usually use false instead of no for the third param of AC_PROG_PATH, it still breaks compilation but slightly more graceful. I have updated the m4 but I do not know how to test it on mac since:

$  sudo mv /usr/bin/bc /usr/bin/bc.old
mv: rename /usr/bin/bc to /usr/bin/bc.old: Operation not permitted

there's probably some way to get around this...

Sorry, no good way around that one - Apple has really locked down their system very hard. Must be tested on linux or with the default GitHub virtual machine for CI.
