Details on this package are located in Section 6.35.2, “Contents of Gawk.”
The Gawk package contains programs for manipulating text files.
Prepare Gawk for compilation:
./configure --prefix=/tools
Due to a bug in the configure script, Gawk fails to detect certain aspects of locale support in Glibc. This bug leads to, e.g., Gettext testsuite failures. Work around this issue by appending the missing macro definitions to config.h:
cat >>config.h <<"EOF" #define HAVE_LANGINFO_CODESET 1 #define HAVE_LC_MESSAGES 1 EOF
Compile the package:
make
To test the results, issue: make check.
Install the package:
make install
