    <para>Prepare Gawk for compilation:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="configure">./configure --prefix=/usr</userinput></screen>

    <para>Compile the package:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="make">make</userinput></screen>

    <para>To test the results, issue:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="test">chown -Rv tester .

    <para>Install the package:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="install">make LN='ln -f' install</userinput></screen>

    <para>The installation process already created <command>awk</command>
    as a symlink to <command>gawk</command>, create its man page as a
    symlink as well:</para>
