Other -compilers can be used but if sizeof(pointer) != sizeof(int) this -code will not compile correctly with non-ANSI compiler (prototypes -and library). - -Compiled executables were tested and with minor modifications, due -to differences in environment and/or shell, succesfully completed -at least the following tests: -awf, pearls, resub, chem, swaplns, delete, messages, argarray, -longwrds, getline, inftest, spiece2top, fstabplus, compare, arrayref, -rs, fsrs, rand, fsbs, negexp, ugh2, asgext, anchgsub, splitargv, -fieldwidths, ignorecase, posix, manyfiles, igncfs, lisp, regtest, -awkpath, reparse, nfset. - -Nearly all of these test do not require any adjustments to run, but a -modified test suite with a driving Makefile (for gulam) is available -on a request from Michal Jaegermann, michal@gortel.phys.ualberta.ca, -via e-mail. - -TOS and MiNT ------------ -Setup for Atari assumes that gawk will be used under TOS. In -particular atari/system.c source is for a system function which nicely -cooperates with gulam shell and pipes are simulated with temporary -files. If you plan to run gawk under MiNT then you likely want a -different system function and real pipes. For that purpose do not -define SYSTEM_MISSING in a configuration file and do not define -PIPES_SIMULATED in io.c file. Please note that in the later case gawk -calls, in gawk_popen(), a function execl() with a hard-coded name of -"/bin/sh". You want likely to change that to get a name and some -arguments from an environment variable. This was not done here in -order to avoid changes which may prove troublesome in a general -distribution. Subdirectory ./atari contains also a file textrd.c with -a bug fix for old versions of gcc libraries. This bug is currently -fixed and the file is not used, but it is left as a convenience for -those who may not updated yet their libraries. |
