#49784: nmap fails to configure when nawk is installed and gawk is not
--------------------------+--------------------------------

     Type:  defect        |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal        |  Milestone:
Component:  ports         |    Version:  2.3.99
 Keywords:                |       Port:  nmap
--------------------------+--------------------------------
 nmap fails to configure when the nawk port is installed but the gawk port
 is not:

 {{{
 config.status: creating nmap_config.h
 nawk: illegal statement
  input record number 1, file nmap_config.h.in
  source line number 42
 config.status: error: could not create nmap_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. Alternately, a
 configure argument can be added:

 {{{
 ac_cv_prog_AWK=/usr/bin/awk
 }}}
