The process is basically identical to the Unix process +of running configure and then make. Full instructions are given below: + +You can compile gawk under BeOS by extracting the standard sources, +and running the configure script. You MUST specify the location prefix +for the installation directory. Under BeOS DR9 and beyond the best +directory to use is /boot/home/config, so the configure command +would be: + +$ configure --prefix=/boot/home/config + +This will install the compiled application into /boot/home/config/bin, +which is already specified in the standard PATH. + +Once the configuration process has been completed, you can run make and +then make install: + +$ make +.... +$ make install + +Socket Notes +---------------------- + +Due to the socket implementation under BeOS not all of the features under +gawk's socket implementation may work properly. In particular: + + BeOS does not support a BSD SO_LINGER option, so sockets cannot remain + open after a close if data is still present on the incoming buffer. + + BeOS does not allow data to be read from a socket without removing the data + from the buffer (peek). If you need to use this feature in gawk, create a + separate input buffer and peek into your own copy, rather than the OS version. + + BeOS does not support RAW socket connections, only UDP or TCP. + +Note that these are BeOS Unix-layer compatibility problems, and only affect certain +aspects of network communication. Most socket based gawk scripts, and any scripts +that do not rely on sockets should work fine (excepting any other notes in this section). + +File Handle Notes +--------------------------- + +Expect the multiple file test (when running make check) to fail.
