I recommend the use -of this compiler (at least v2.2.2) because the provided environment -(includes, libs, binutils) allows straight-forward porting of BSD/UNIX -programs. Gcc compiled programs access/emulate UNIX syscalls via a -shared library (ixemul.library); thus, only minimal changes to the -source are necessary. That release also provides a `sh'- command. If -no `sh'-command is available or another compiler is being used, -`config.h' and `Makefile' are to be created by hand. Since I'm afraid -that none of the Amiga-specific make-commands handles UNIX-style -makefiles correctly I suggest the use of Dennis Vadura's`dmake', -which is available on the Amiga (v3.6). I'm currently using dmake v3.8 -(a hack) or GNU make v3.62 (another hack :), which even allows -to start multiple make jobs! Thanx to Markus!). - -Machine Configuration (obsoleted by gawk 2.16) ---------------------- -Only copy the following into config/amiga: - -Amiga under AmigaOS with gcc -DOPRNT_MISSING 1 -ENVSEP ',' -DEFPATH ".,/usr/local/lib" -HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SETJMP 1 -SRANDOM_PROTO 1 -STDC_HEADERS 1 - -The gcc compiler and the compiled executables are working under -AmigaOS 1.2/1.3 as well as AmigaOS 2.x. However, some very special -functions of ixemul.library currently require AmigaOS 2.x to work -properly. - - -How to compile (obsoleted by gawk 2.16) --------------- -Compiling and installing on the Amiga rather clones the UNIX- -installation: - -After you have extracted the `gawk' distribution, `cd' to `gawk- -2.14'. Look in the `config' subdirectory for a file that matches your -machine (in this case: `amiga', if the gawk maintainers put it there -:). - - If you find such a file, run the command: - - sh configure amiga - - This produces a `Makefile' and `config.h' tailored to your system. - You may wish to edit the `Makefile' to use a different C compiler, - such as `gcc', the GNU C compiler (recommended), if you have it. - You may also wish to change the `CFLAGS' variable, which controls - the command line options that are passed to the C compiler (such as - optimization levels, or producing `resident'-able code) - - After you have configured `Makefile' and `config.h', type: - - make - -and shortly thereafter (a little bit longer on a 7MHz machine >:->, -you should have an executable version of `gawk'. That's all there is -to it! - -Testing -------- -Gawk succeeds in all tests, but not with 'make test'. When executing -the tests by hand (e.g. 'make swaplns' and so on) gawk runs all tests -ok except for the following: -- argarray, awkpath: these do not work due to insufficient environment - variable handling by pdksh ('bin:sh') -- poundbang, regtest: pdksh refuses to handle the #! statement - properly -Modifying these tests in a way that only *gawk-features, not *sh- -features are tested, it is found that gawk succeeds here too. -- manyfiles: (error: too many open files) ixemul.library v39.45 uses - OPEN_MAX=64; manyfiles required at least OPEN_MAX=106 -This may only be overcome when mwild releases a new ixemul.library. -Changing the number '100' in the 'manyfiles::'-target in -'test/Makefile' to some value <= 58 (depends on the number of -currently open files in ixemul.library) gawk tests successfully, too. |
