  • How to install gawkextlib?

    From Peng Yu@21:1/5 to All on Sun Aug 1 09:04:33 2021
    http://gawkextlib.sourceforge.net/README.html

    The README says to call configure. But I don't find it in my clone. Could anybody let me know how to install it?

    I have no idea what you posted below. What I do (to get a compiled
    GNU Awk version) is to download a tar package, say gawk-5.1.0.tar.gz
    (just as example) extract the content by: tar xzf gawk-5.1.0.tar.gz
    go into the created directory: cd gawk-5.1.0 and from there make
    the incantation: ./configure && make The final: make install
    requires root/admin permissions. The extension library might need
    one more step (don't know whether I ever compiled it). There's a
    couple files like README and INSTALL (the latter I don't see below
    in your list) that probably contain all information to install that
    library (or mechanism). So get the right package, read the docs, and
    if you then have still questions come back to ask.

    The README says to call configure. But I don't find it in my clone.
    Could anybody let me know how to install it?

    See the gawkextlib home page on Sourceforge. Get the release
    tarball from there instead of trying to install from Git. Installing
    from Git is much more work and doesn't go as smoothly as using
    a tarball.

    Did you actually read the contents of the README file? It's pretty clear about how to build from
    tarballs or from a git clone.
