SCO's awk has a -e option which is similar to gawk's --source option,
|
||
|
|
allowing you to specify the script anywhere on the awk command line.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This can be a problem, since gawk will install itself as `awk' in
|
||
|
|
$(bindir). If this is ahead of /bin and /usr/bin in the search path,
|
||
|
|
several of SCO's scripts that use -e will break, since gawk does not
|
||
|
|
accept this option.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The solution is simple. After doing a `make install', do:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
rm -f /usr/local/bin/awk # or wherever it is installed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This removes the `awk' symlink so that SCO's programs will continue
|
||
|
|
to work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you complain to me about this, I will fuss at you for not having
|
||
|
|
done your homework.
