awl compiles under APE with a little work. someone, sorry I have forgotten who, did Stirling work a few years ago and got many Linux tools ported - to support 3rd party stuff. to my chagrin I never managed to get avn to work on top of this.
the code was in Google code I think, his porting instructions should work for the latest gawk too. if not put the code somewhere and I will have a go. -Steve > On 11 Mar 2015, at 21:04, Ryan Gonzalez <rym...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Warning: this will get messy *fast*. > >> On Wed, Mar 11, 2015 at 3:30 PM, Aharon Robbins <arn...@skeeve.com> wrote: >> Thanks for the link to the Google code repo. >> >> I'm currently on x86_64 Ubuntu 12.04.
