This should probably be brought up with Infra. Unfortunately I don't have the original e-mail so I don't have the message-id, which is probably needed when discussing with them. > On 2020/04/20 0:47, Johan Corveleyn wrote: > > > * awk (from https://www.cs.princeton.edu/~bwk/btl.mirror/awk95.exe) > > This is dead link now. https://www.cs.princeton.edu/~bwk/btl.mirror/ > > saids "Awk is now hosted at Github" (https://github.com/onetrueawk/awk), > > and there is no executable. > > > > However, I could find awk.exe (actually GNU Awk 4.1.4) under the > > Visuall Studio 2017 install directory. > I cannot find it in the core installation of Visual Studio 2022. (I have it installed in the directory Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TeamFoundation\Team Explorer\Git\usr\bin but I'm not sure if this is an addon or if we can rely on this being part of all installations). > > > Also, newer version is found in > > > > https://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files/ > > Not sure which of these is "best"; if using Visual Studio, the awk > bundled with it might be the most convenient (if still bundled in > newer versions). > The awk from ezwinports is a lot newer than the gnuwin32 version. The downside is that the version number is encoded in the filename and older files/versions seems to be removed, so we will have to update the version number whenever new versions are uploaded. This might be ok for trunk, but for release tarballs we will have a problem. For this reason, I believe the gnuwin32 version is better. At least if I can succeed with the build (I'm not there yet). Thank you for digging up the old thread! Kind regards, Daniel
