Look in the `config' directory for a file that is appropriate to your + Unix system. For example, use `ultrix41' for Ultrix 4.1 or later, and + `sunos41' for SunOS 4.1.x. + +2. Type + ./configure FILE + where FILE is the name you chose earlier. + +3. Type + make + This should build gawk. + +4. Type + make -n install + to see where things will be installed by default. Edit the Makefile to + change these defaults if they are not appropriate to your system. Then + type + make install + to install gawk. + +If you don't have GCC, or if your Unix version is not close enough to one +of the ones in the `config' directory, then you will need to do more work; +see the manual. + +The next major release of gawk will use GNU Autoconf; the installation +instructions will change then. |
