"Whole script fails" - well, this is by design, if there are no
updates it shouldn't waste anyone's time. You can comment out that
check the first time.

Nobody told you to use "sudo". This is Linux beginner fail number one,
padding on "sudo" whenever there is an issue. If you need sudo to
build nitros9 then your system is severely messed up. That's like
using an administrator account on Windows to read e-mail. Hey wait...
Just kidding :)

This is because you have set NITROS9DIR to an empty value. You
shouldn't set it all. Use "unset NITROS9DIR" in your current shell, or
start a new fresh shell.

Please use my script, or follow the instructions. It is impossible to
help you if you insist on doing things your own way.

Do not complicate things with build scripts if you cannot get it to
build by hand. The whole building from scratch is fairly simple. See
http://sourceforge.net/p/nitros9/wiki/Building_NitrOS9/#obtain-and-build-nitros-9

Once you have this under control, you can think about making your own
changes, using build scripts, and so on. One step at at time.
