Compilation - -Running ./configure does work but - -- I tried only running with --disable-nls, so with NLS I didn't test. -- Depending on the gcc version you use you may get linker errors. In - that case add 'CFLAGS=-O2 -g -fgnu89-inline' to the configure options - (-O2 -g already is the default). - - -2. Tests - -It is possible to run the built-in checks but many test results depend -on the shell being used. I recommend to use 'make -i check' to run -the tests because some failures might cause a immediate termination -of the make run. - -- If your shell uses \r\n linebreaks (in that case all tests fail) - then you have to run 'make -i check CMP=diff' to ignore the linebreak - differences at the test result comparison. -- Depending on the shell some tests might just hang forever. Press - Ctrl+C and/or Ctrl+Break until the tests continue. -- OS/2 can only load DLLs with filenames up to 8+3 bytes but gawk - creates three internal DLLs with longer names (e.g. filefuncs.dll, - revoutput.dll, revtwoway.dll). Thus, all tests trying to load - filefuncs.dll or the other two DLLs will fail. This is not a bug - of gawk. If you change e.g. the '@load filefuncs' directive to - '@load filefunc' in the according *.awk file then the tests will - succeed. -- The number of failling tests is currently around 50, less if your - shell uses \r\n linebreaks, more otherwise. - -Best wishes, - -Andreas Buening -====================================================== - -Sat Oct 21 21:01:49 IDT 2017 -============================ - -Fixes for loading extension libraries have since been included -in the git repo and will be part of 4.2.1. - -Arnold Robbins -arnold@skeeve.com |
