PACKAGE NAME
------------
neko_gawk


DESCRIPTION
-----------
The awk utility interprets a special-purpose programming language that makes it possible to handle simple data-reformatting jobs with just a few lines of code.

for more information, see: https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/


SOURCE/VERSION
--------------
gawk-5.0.0 / 3


IRIX/MIPSPRO VERSION
--------------------
6.5.22m / 7.4.4m


ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
---------------------
setenv CC c99 
setenv CXX CC 
setenv CFLAGS '-O2 -mips4 -n32' 
setenv CXXFLAGS '-O2 -mips4 -n32' 
setenv CPPFLAGS '-I/usr/nekoware/include' 
setenv LDFLAGS '-L/usr/nekoware/lib'

for building on mips3 systems, use:

setenv CFLAGS '-O2 -mips3 -n32'
setenv CXXFLAGS '-O2 -mips3 -n32'


CONFIGURE FLAGS
---------------
./configure --prefix=/usr/nekoware --disable-rpath


BUILD
-----
gmake
gmake check
gmake install


KNOWN DEPENDENCIES
------------------
neko_gettext.sw.lib 10
neko_libiconv.sw.lib 5
neko_readline.sw.lib 5


ERRORS/MISCELLANEOUS
--------------------
The 'gmake check' produces four errors:

- one at sigpipe1 which assumes incorrectly that the program 'yes' is installed.
- two at the mbstr1 and mbstr2 tests: they do produce the correct output but also prints out the following warning:

warning: Invalid multibyte data detected. There may be a mismatch between your data and your locale.

... which subsequently triggers a difference in the diff command.

- mktime.awk fails because IRIX mktime() does not handle dates before 1 jan 1970. This is a known problem and can be fixed with a new mktime() code from bsd, but that shouldn't be in gawk but in libc.


This package has dual support for both mips3 and mips4 architecture, controlled by the mach(CPUARCH=R4000) switch for libraries and executables.
