Thu Nov 7 22:42:46 IST 2013 ============================ On Solaris 11 x86 with the Sun compiler you need to use c99 -Xc -D_XPG6 to correctly compile gawk and the extensions. Various tests can fail if the necessary locales aren't installed. Fri Jul 15 14:24:00 IDT 2011 ============================ It looks like you need to use -Xc -D_XPG4_2 on Solaris 10 with the Sun C compiler when compiling gawk in order for libsigsegv to be found correctly, and -Xc -D_XPG4_2 -Duint64_t=upad64_t on Solaris 9. Tue Apr 20 11:33:20 IDT 2010 ============================ The lc_num1 test fails on Solaris 10 systems. This is a bug with Solaris, not gawk. Arnold Robbins arnold@skeeve.com
