%general-entities; ]> Gawk Under some circumstances, Gawk-&gawk-version; attempts to free a chunk of memory that was not allocated. This bug is fixed by the following patch: patch -Np1 -i ../&gawk-segfault-patch; Prepare Gawk for compilation: ./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib 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 Installed programs awk (link to gawk), gawk, gawk-&gawk-version;, grcat, igawk, pgawk, pgawk-&gawk-version;, and pwcat Short Descriptions awk A link to gawk awk gawk A program for manipulating text files; it is the GNU implementation of awk gawk gawk-&gawk-version; A hard link to gawk gawk-&gawk-version; grcat Dumps the group database /etc/group grcat igawk Gives gawk the ability to include files igawk pgawk The profiling version of gawk pgawk pgawk-&gawk-version; Hard link to pgawk pgawk-&gawk-version; pwcat Dumps the password database /etc/passwd pwcat
