Chapter 6. Installing Basic System Software

6.27. Gawk-3.1.5

The Gawk package contains programs for manipulating text files.

6.27.1. Installation of Gawk

Patch Gawk to fix a bug which causes it to segfault when invoked on a non-existent file: 

patch -Np1 -i ../gawk-3.1.5-segfault_fix-1.patch

Prepare Gawk for compilation: 

./configure --build=${CLFS_HOST} --host=${CLFS_TARGET} \
    --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib

The configure script does not detect the following properly: 

cat >> config.h << "EOF"
#define HAVE_LANGINFO_CODESET 1
#define HAVE_LC_MESSAGES 1
EOF

Compile the package: 

make

Install the package: 

make DESTDIR=${CLFS} install
