You know what's really weird? I can't even find the original message in my inbox. I only have my reply, which includes the following In-Reply-To: In-Reply-To: <CAB84uBW0RTUkNj30zXFLOtT3=xbhxdarvlnuotnmbg-xqq6...@mail.gmail.com> So, I don't know. Maybe we'll be lucky and Yasuhito has the original email, and we'll talk to Infra about it. I hope we aren't missing other important stuff. > I cannot find it in the core installation of Visual Studio 2022.

Hmm... Well I suppose we shouldn't depend on people using MSVS anyway, since there are other toolchains for Windows. > The awk from ezwinports is a lot newer than the gnuwin32 version.

An alternative might be to figure out where we're actually using awk and perhaps using something else that is more common? Python? A minimal C program? Perl? (I don't speak Perl but it's already a dependency for the Windows build.) Nathan
