#35696: ncurses 5.9: Mountain Lion: configuration (build) gets stuck ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: Community@… | Owner: jmr@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Keywords: | Port: ncurses ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by ryandesign@…): * owner: macports-tickets@… => jmr@… * cc: ryandesign@… (added) * keywords: ncurses install build configuration configure stuck hang fail => Comment: This test ("checking for specified models") appears to be the first test that uses awk. From the configure.in: {{{ AC_MSG_CHECKING(for default model) DFT_LWR_MODEL=`echo "$cf_list_models" | $AWK '{print $1}'` AC_MSG_RESULT($DFT_LWR_MODEL) }}} Earlier in your log it showed that it looked for and found gawk and is therefore using that as your awk program: {{{ checking for mawk... no checking for gawk... gawk }}} It does this on my system too and it works fine here but perhaps there is something the matter with your gawk program? What happens if you try to use gawk manually on the command line? If you just type "gawk" it should print a usage message if everything is working. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/35696#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
