6.11.1. Installation of Gawk

Warning: do NOT run make uninstall on this package if you apply the sed fix to change the libexec directory definition. The uninstall rule in the Makefile file runs a command like rm -rf <libexecdir>/* Since we change the libexec directory to /usr/bin it'll run rm -rf /usr/bin/*

Install Gawk by running the following commands:

cp awklib/Makefile.in awklib/Makefile.in.backup &&
sed -e '/^datadir/s/awk/gawk/' \
-e '/^libexecdir/s%/awk%%' awklib/Makefile.in.backup \
   > awklib/Makefile.in &&
./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/bin &&
make &&
make install
