#14523: sqlite3 fails to build on new macos/macports installation (NAWK variable empty) -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: nuclear@siggraph.org | Owner: mww@macports.org Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: duplicate | Keywords: sqlite3 sqlite NAWK "-f" -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Comment(by lambert@burntmail.com): Thanks for reporting this. I've experienced the same problem. For the sake of completeness, can you specify what you filled in the NAWK variable with (awk or gawk)? Many thanks, Replying to [ticket:14523 nuclear@…]:

I just installed macports for the first time on a new mac system, and when I tried to port install sqlite3 (indirectly, as a dependency of subversion), it failed to build with errors that looked like incomplete commands (starting with -f ..).

After further investigation I found an empty NAWK variable in the sqlite makefile (NAWK=) which caused rules of the form: $(NAWK) -f whatever, to be issued as: -f whatever.

When I filled in this variable and tried to install the port again, everything worked fine.
