#49738: nco @4.5.2: fix configure failure when nawk is installed but gawk and mawk
aren't
--------------------------+-----------------------
Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: takeshi@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version: 2.3.99
Keywords: haspatch | Port: nco
--------------------------+-----------------------
If nawk is installed but gawk and mawk aren't, nco fails to configure with
this error:
{{{
config.status: creating config.h
nawk: illegal statement
input record number 1, file config.h.in
source line number 133
config.status: error: could not create config.h
}}}
Similar errors are common in other ports. I guess many ports' build
systems use awk syntax that is not compatible with nawk.
We've been fixing this in other ports by patching the configure script so
that it does not consider nawk as an awk candidate. See attached patch.
