| 16 | <para>First apply a patch to fix the following issues:</para>

|
|---|
| 18 | <itemizedlist>
|
|---|
| 19 | <listitem><para>Gawk's default location for some of its executables is
|
|---|
| 20 | <filename>$prefix/libexec/awk</filename>. This location doesn't comply
|
|---|
| 21 | with the FHS, which never even mentions a directory called
|
|---|
| 22 | <filename>libexec</filename>. The patch makes it possible to pass a
|
|---|
| 23 | <emphasis>--libexecdir</emphasis> switch to the configure script, so that we
|
|---|
| 24 | can use a more appropriate location for the <userinput>grcat</userinput> and
|
|---|
| 25 | <userinput>pwcat</userinput> binaries:
|
|---|
| 26 | <filename>/usr/lib/gawk</filename>.</para></listitem>
|
|---|
| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 | <listitem><para>Gawk's default data directory is
|
|---|
| 29 | <filename>$prefix/share/awk</filename>. But package-specific
|
|---|
| 30 | directories should be named using the package name and version number
|
|---|
| 31 | (for example: <filename>gawk-7.7.2.</filename>) and not simply the package
|
|---|
| 32 | name, as there may be different versions of a package installed on the system.
|
|---|
| 33 | The patch changes the name of the data directory to the correct
|

| 34 | <filename>$prefix/share/gawk-&gawk-version;</filename>.</para></listitem>

| 50 | <para>This package has a test suite available which can perform a number of
