- These are minimal instructions for installing gawk on a Unix system.
- Full instructions for installing and porting gawk are given in Chapter 16
- of the manual.
-
- 1. Look in the `config' directory for a file that is appropriate to your
- Unix system. For example, use `ultrix41' for Ultrix 4.1 or later, and
- `sunos41' for SunOS 4.1.x.
-
- 2. Type
- ./configure FILE
- where FILE is the name you chose earlier.
-
- 3. Type
- make
- This should build gawk.
-
- 4. Type
- make -n install
- to see where things will be installed by default. Edit the Makefile to
- change these defaults if they are not appropriate to your system. Then
- type
- make install
- to install gawk.
-
- If you don't have GCC, or if your Unix version is not close enough to one
- of the ones in the `config' directory, then you will need to do more work;
- see the manual.
-
- The next major release of gawk will use GNU Autoconf; the installation
- instructions will change then.
