-Ignore the instructions above, although @file{vms/gawk.hlp} should still
-be made available in a help library. The source tree should be unpacked
-into a container file subsystem rather than into the ordinary VMS filesystem.
-Make sure that the two scripts, @file{configure} and
-@file{vms/posix-cc.sh}, are executable; use @samp{chmod +x} on them if
-necessary. Then execute the following two commands:
-
-@example
-psx> @kbd{CC=vms/posix-cc.sh configure}
-psx> @kbd{make CC=c89 gawk}
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-The first command constructs files @file{config.h} and @file{Makefile} out
-of templates, using a script to make the C compiler fit @command{configure}'s
-expectations. The second command compiles and links @command{gawk} using
-the C compiler directly; ignore any warnings from @command{make} about being
-unable to redefine @code{CC}. @command{configure} takes a very long
-time to execute, but at least it provides incremental feedback as it runs.
-
-This has been tested with VAX/VMS V6.2, VMS POSIX V2.0, and DEC C V5.2.
-
-Once built, @command{gawk} works like any other shell utility. Unlike
-the normal VMS port of @command{gawk}, no special command-line manipulation is
-needed in the VMS POSIX environment.
