Message-Id: <200601170252.k0H2qqh6006985@delorie.com> X-Authenticated: #27081556 From: Juan Manuel Guerrero To: djgpp-announce AT delorie DOT com Subject: ANNOUNCE: DJGPP port of GNU Gawk 3.1.5 uploaded Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2006 03:21:47 +0100 Content-Disposition: inline X-Y-GMX-Trusted: 0 This is a port of GNU Gawk 3.1.5 to MSDOS/DJGPP. Gawk is an interpreter for text scanning and processing language named Awk. It is specifically suited for programs that process text files one line at a time, but can also be used for much more complex tasks. DJGPP specific changes. ======================= - Minor DJGPP specific issues concerning the config.h and Makefile are documented in the diffs file located in the pc subdir. - The testsuite will only work if LFN support is available. This is due to the great amount of long file names that can not match on unique short file names. I have no intention to solve this file name conflict. Please note that the package can always be compiled and installed on SFN systems. Only the testsuite will not work. - The DJGPP port does not support the building of DLLs. DLLs are not supported by DOS nor by DJGPP by the moment. Compiling the sources. ====================== Compile, test and install the binaries produced from the source distribution running the following commands from the top srcdir, this is gawk-3.1-5: make djgpp make check make install 5 tests from the testsuite will fail. Before running the testsuite you may need to to create a DJGPP link to date.exe from the fileutilies package. To create the link proceed as follows: 1) cd into DJDIR/bin 2) stubify -g gdate.exe 3) stubedit gdate.exe runfile=date If there is no gdate.exe available then one test more will fail. For futher information about GNU gawk please read the info docs and NEWS file.
