- The 32 bit EMX version of 'gawk' works "out of the box" under OS/2.
-However, it is highly recommended to use GCC 2.95.3 for the compilation.
-In principle, it is possible to compile 'gawk' the following way:
-
- $ ./configure
- $ make
-
- This is not recommended, though. To get an OMF executable you should
-use the following commands at your 'sh' prompt:
-
- $ CFLAGS="-O2 -Zomf -Zmt"
- $ export CFLAGS
- $ LDFLAGS="-s -Zcrtdll -Zlinker /exepack:2 -Zlinker /pm:vio -Zstack 0x6000"
- $ export LDFLAGS
- $ RANLIB="echo"
- $ export RANLIB
- $ ./configure --prefix=c:/usr
- $ make AR=emxomfar
-
- These are just suggestions for use with GCC 2.x. You may use any
-other set of (self-consistent) environment variables and compiler flags.
-
- If you use GCC 2.95 it is recommended to use also:
-
- $ LIBS="-lgcc"
- $ export LIBS
-
- You can also get an 'a.out' executable if you prefer:
-
- $ CFLAGS="-O2 -Zmt"
- $ export CFLAGS
- $ LDFLAGS="-s -Zstack 0x6000"
- $ LIBS="-lgcc"
- $ unset RANLIB
- $ ./configure --prefix=c:/usr
- $ make
-
- NOTE: Compilation of 'a.out' executables also works with GCC 3.2.
- Versions later than GCC 3.2 have not been tested successfully.
-
- 'make install' works as expected with the EMX build.
-
- NOTE: Ancient OS/2 ports of GNU 'make' are not able to handle the
- Makefiles of this package. If you encounter any problems with

-Using 'make' to run the standard tests and to install 'gawk' requires
-additional Unix-like tools, including 'sh', 'sed', and 'cp'. In order
-to run the tests, the 'test/*.ok' files may need to be converted so that
-they have the usual MS-DOS-style end-of-line markers. Alternatively,
-run 'make check CMP="diff -a"' to use GNU 'diff' in text mode instead of
-'cmp' to compare the resulting files.
-
- Most of the tests work properly with Stewartson's shell along with
-the companion utilities or appropriate GNU utilities. However, some
-editing of 'test/Makefile' is required. It is recommended that you copy
-the file 'pc/Makefile.tst' over the file 'test/Makefile' as a
-replacement. Details can be found in 'README_d/README.pc' and in the
-file 'pc/Makefile.tst'.
-
- On OS/2 the 'pid' test fails because 'spawnl()' is used instead of
-'fork()'/'execl()' to start child processes. Also the 'mbfw1' and
-'mbprintf1' tests fail because the needed multibyte functionality is not
-available.

-
- An 'sh'-like shell (as opposed to 'command.com' under MS-DOS or
