<title>Installation of Gawk</title>
<para>Before installing the Gawk package you have to apply a patch,
which fixes the following issues:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>Gawk's default location for libexecdir is <filename
class="directory">$prefix/libexecdir/awk</filename>. This location doesn't
comply with FHS (which never mentions a directory called
libexecdir).</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The patch allows us to pass
<emphasis>--libexecdir</emphasis> to the configure script (without gawk
tacking on /awk to the end), so that we can use a more appropriate location
for gawk's libexecdir (<filename class="directory">/usr/bin</filename> in
the book).</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The default data directory for gawk is <filename
class="directory">$prefix/share/awk</filename>. A package specific
directory should be named using the package and version (like gawk-3.1.3
instead of awk) because there may be more than one awk interpreter on a
system (and more than one version of gawk). The patch changes this to
<filename class="directory">$prefix/share/gawk-3.1.3</filename> to be more
correct.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The patch ensures that this directory (<filename
class="directory">$prefix/share/gawk-3.1.3</filename>) is removed along
with its contents on a make uninstall.</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para><screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../&gawk-patch;</userinput></screen></para>
<para>Now prepare Gawk for compilation:</para>
<para><screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/bin</userinput></screen></para>
<para>Compile the package:</para>
<para><screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen></para>
<para>This package has a test suite available which can perform a number of
checks to ensure it built correctly. Should you choose to run it, the
following command will do so:</para>
<para><screen><userinput>make check</userinput></screen></para>
<para>And install the package:</para>
<para><screen><userinput>make install</userinput></screen></para>
