GNU AWK

Name: GNU AWK
Summary: GNU Awk is a CLI tool for processing text data
License: GPL v3 or later
Version: 5.3.2
URL: https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gawk/gawk-5.3.2.tar.xz

Average Build Time: 0.2 SBU
Used Install Space: 8.3 MiB

Configuration

To configure GNU AWK for install into the build root, run the following commands:

sed -i 's/extras//' Makefile.in
./configure --prefix=/usr           \
            --libdir=/usr/lib64     \
            --libexecdir=/usr/lib64 \
            --docdir=/usr/share/doc/gawk-5.3.2

Compilation and Installation

To compile GNU AWK, run the following command:

make

Next, run the test suite:

if [[ ! -f /etc/pam.d/su ]]; then
    cat > /etc/pam.d/su << "EOF"
#%PAM-1.0
auth            sufficient      pam_rootok.so
auth            substack        common-auth
auth            include         postlogin-auth
account         sufficient      pam_succeed_if.so uid = 0 use_uid quiet
account         include         common-account
password        include         common-password
session         include         common-session
session         include         postlogin-session
session         optional        pam_xauth.so
EOF
fi
useradd -c "Test User" -u 1000 -U -m tester
groupadd -g 102 dummy -U tester
unalias cp
cp -R ../gawk-5.3.2 /tmp/
alias cp="cp -i"
chown -R tester /tmp/gawk-5.3.2/
pushd /tmp/gawk-5.3.2
    su tester -c "PATH=$PATH && autoreconf -fiv && make check"
popd
rm -rf /tmp/gawk-5.3.2
groupdel -f dummy
userdel -rf tester

There are three failing tests due to multibyte parsing issues. These will be resolved in a later build.

Finally, to install GNU AWK into the build tree, run the following command:

rm -f /usr/bin/gawk-5.3.2
make install
ln -sv gawk.1 /usr/share/man/man1/awk.1
install -v -D -m644 -o root -g root doc/{awkforai.txt,*.{eps,pdf,jpg}} -t /usr/share/doc/gawk-5.3.2
