Yes, and the books says to use gawk: Host System Requirements: Gawk-3.1.5 (/usr/bin/awk should be a link to gawk) I suppose we could s/should/must/ > I did have mawk on Debian when I've built my LFS, > but ncurses built fine there.

My log has: AWK=gawk sh ./MKkey_defs.sh ./Caps >>curses.h I do see that the ncurses INSTALL says that mawk will be OK, but we've never supported that. OK, now I see in configure: for ac_prog in mawk gawk nawk awk I think that's an upstream issue, possibly in autotools. I don't see mawk mentioned in configure.in. However, I see the same thing in ncurses-5.7 and 5.8. This is only a Chapter 5 problem because mawk will never be present in Chapter 6. Your override of AWK will work, but I don't see why this hasn't come up before. AFAIK, the symlink has always worked. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
