Installation of Gawk

Before installing the Gawk package you have to apply a patch, which fixes the following issues:

patch -Np1 -i ../gawk-3.1.3-libexecdir.patch

Now prepare Gawk for compilation:

./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/bin

Compile the package:

make

This package has a test suite available which can perform a number of checks to ensure it built correctly. Should you choose to run it, the following command will do so:

make check

And install the package:

make install
