#49775: texlive-bin: configure fails when nawk is installed --------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: dports@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.99 Keywords: | Port: texlive-bin --------------------------+------------------------- texlive-bin fails to configure when the nawk port is installed but the gawk port is not: {{{ config.status: creating c-auto.h nawk: illegal statement input record number 1, file c-auto.in source line number 54 config.status: error: could not create c-auto.h }}} Similar errors are common in other ports. I guess many ports' build systems use awk syntax that is not compatible with nawk. We've been fixing this in other ports by patching the configure script so that it does not consider nawk as an awk candidate. Alternately, a configure argument can be added: {{{ ac_cv_prog_AWK=/usr/bin/awk }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/49775> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
