============================

As documented in the mail below, if you are using a system without any
|
|
version of awk installed, you will have bootstrapping problems (i.e., running
|
|
configure). The solution is to install mawk or Brian Kernighan's awk
|
|
first.

Subject: [bug-gawk] building gawk requires an awk?
|
|
|
|
Hello,
|
|
|
|
I was not able to build gawk 4.0.0 on a GNU/Hurd machine that didn't
|
|
have any awk, the ./configure script failed at the end:
|
|
|
|
config.status: creating Makefile
|
|
./config.status: line 1169: awk: command not found
|
|
config.status: error: could not create Makefile
|
|
|
|
Is this a known bootstrapping issue? Same happened for 3.1.8. I looked
|
|
in README but didn't find anything obvious.
|
|
|
|
Btw, building 'mawk' first and then gawk 4.0.0 works. Running self
|
|
checks didn't work because there is no 'cmp' on the system either...
