Re: [bug-gawk] Beta release of gawk 4.1.1 available

[Antonio Diaz Diaz]

Hello Aharon.

gawk-4.1.0g fails to compile on my several years old Slackware:

$ uname -a
Linux puesto2 2.6.30.4-libre #1 Thu Sep 3 11:33:52 CEST 2009 i586 
unknown unknown GNU/Linux
$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-slackware-linux/3.3.6/specs
Configured with: ../gcc-3.3.6/configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared 
--enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-checking 
--with-gnu-ld --verbose --target=i486-slackware-linux 
--host=i486-slackware-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3.6


First configure reports several issues with headers like this:

checking time.h usability... no
checking time.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: time.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: time.h:     check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: time.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: time.h:     section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
configure: WARNING: time.h: proceeding with the compiler's result
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------- ##
configure: WARNING:     ## Report this to address@hidden ##
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------- ##
checking for time.h... no


Then make fails with:

libtool: compile:  gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I./.. -g -O2 -DNDEBUG -MT 
gawkfts.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/gawkfts.Tpo -c gawkfts.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o 
.libs/gawkfts.o
gawkfts.c: In function `gawk_fts_open':
gawkfts.c:175: error: `MAXPATHLEN' undeclared (first use in this function)
gawkfts.c:175: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
gawkfts.c:175: error: for each function it appears in.)
make[4]: *** [gawkfts.lo] Error 1


I attach the full logs.

Best regards,
Antonio.
