Message-Id: <201302101901.r1AJ1VY4011775@delorie.com> Date: Sun, 10 Feb 2013 19:26:02 +0100 From: Juan Manuel Guerrero To: djgpp-announce AT delorie DOT com Subject: ANNOUNCE: DJGPP port of GNU Gawk 4.0.2 uploaded. Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15; format=flowed Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com This is a port of GNU Gawk 4.0.2 to MSDOS/DJGPP. GNU 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. ======================= - Add CVS version of popen.c to avoid that gawk is linked to the broken one from djdev204 (beta 1). - Minor DJGPP specific issues concerning the way the sources are compiled 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 clashes. I have no intention to solve these file name conflicts. 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 momment. 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-4.0-2: make djgpp cd test make -f Makefile.tst cd .. make install 7 tests from the testsuite will fail without aborting the test suite. This is expected to happen. The test case: manyfiles may abort the complete testsuite. This is because it tries to open 300 files exhausting the amount of file descriptors that the OS offers. I have reduced the number to 245, so the test should work if you have set the "files" directive in your config.sys or config.nt to around the max. value of 255. For further information about GNU gawk please read the info docs and NEWS file. The port has been compiled using stock djdev203 (patchlevel 2) and consists of the usual three packages that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (timestamp 2013-02-09): Gawk 4.0.2 binary, info and man format documentation: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/gwk402b.zip Gawk 4.0.2 dvi, html and ps format documentation: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/gwk402d.zip Gawk 4.0.2 source: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/gwk402s.zip The binaries have been produced a second time using the stock version of djdev204 beta library. This package is available at ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (timestamp 2013-02-09): Gawk 4.0.2 binary, info and man format documentation: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/gwk402b.zip Send Gawk specific bug reports to .
