Package: autoconf Version: 2.61-7 I want @AWK@ to be equal to 'awk' so it will not introduce an unnecessary dependency on whichever of gawk, mawk, or nawk it finds first in the buildd chroot. Therefore I am forced to pass AWK=awk to configure, which then provides the following output.
checking for gawk... awk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for gawk... (cached) awk In this case, awk is not gawk, and configure is not actually searching for gawk, so this AC_PROG_AWK output is misleading. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
