#49827: libssh2: configure failure when nawk is installed but gawk is not --------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: normen@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Keywords: | Port: libssh2 --------------------------+---------------------- libssh2 fails to configure when nawk is installed but gawk is not: {{{ config.status: creating src/libssh2_config.h nawk: illegal statement input record number 1, file src/libssh2_config.h.in source line number 50 config.status: error: could not create src/libssh2_config.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 adding a configure argument like: {{{ ac_cv_prog_AWK=/usr/bin/awk }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/49827> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
