When I compiled Bacula I have not compiled it with readline (--with-readline) 
support. So it did not work.

Check if your actual bconsole binary ("bconsole" itself may be a shell script 
running an actual binary) is linked against a library providing those advanced 
features like history.  Usually it's either libreadline or libedit.  Supposedly 
you have built bacula from source and failed to properly configure it so that 
bconsole wasn't linked against one of such libraries.

For instance, on my Debian system running Bacula 5.0.2:

$ ldd /usr/sbin/bacula-console |egrep 'readline|edit'
        libreadline.so.6 => /lib/libreadline.so.6 (0xb7800000)
