Greetings,

I fail to make etc/bashrc run as part of the installation of Foam-Extend-5.0 on Mac M1. Suggestions are welcome. Thx.

The bashrc file needs to be changed to check for new arm64 arch.

# etc/bashrc
# ------------
...

Darwin)
    # this makes certain things easier
    export WM_ARCH_BASE=darwin

    case `uname -p` in

...
        #  for m1 mac: `uname -p` == arm
        arm)
            export $WM_ARCH=darwin

...

There are also some errors (sed command) in the foamCleanPath script (at least this happened on my machine).

# etc/bashrc
# ------------
...
cleanProg=$WM_PROJECT_DIR/bin/foamCleanPath


#- Clean PATH
cleanEnv=`$cleanProg "$PATH" "$foamOldDirs"` && PATH="$cleanEnv"  # sed: -e expression #1, char 47: unknown option to `s'

...


#- Clean PATH
cleanEnv=`$cleanProg "$PATH"` && PATH="$cleanEnv"  #  sed: -e expression #1, char 47: unknown option to `s'

...

With some printf debugging (into stderr) I found the problematic sed command in this line of code

# bin/foamCleanPath
# ---------------------
...

        duplicate=`echo " $dirList " | sed -ne "s@ $dir @DUP@p"`
        #                                        ^      ^   ^
        # I replaced the delimiter '@' with '|' (pipe) and error was gone
...

Also, the wmake rules directory for the arch+compiler (for example darwin64Clang) should be created.
