[Slackbuilds-users] help testing new package

I've just tested on a 32bit machine and it failed to produce the
binary.  End of the output:

make[1]: Leaving directory '/root/tmp/ncl-6.6.2'
Thu Jun 18 22:57:02 CDT 2020
Finished making <Build>.
Build failed to produce the ncl binary... Aborting!
Build failed to produce the ncl binary... Aborting!

I noticed your test here:

if [[ ! -f ni/src/ncl/ncl ]] ; then

You don't need double brackets for that. [[ ]] is for regexp tests,
so you only need single [ ].
