Installing gawk on an Amiga

You can install gawk on an Amiga system using a Unix emulation environment available via anonymous ftp from ftp.ninemoons.com in the directory `pub/ade/current'. This includes a shell based on pdksh. The primary component of this environment is a Unix emulation library, `ixemul.lib'.

A more complete distribution for the Amiga is available on the Geek Gadgets CD-ROM from:

Once you have the distribution, you can configure gawk simply by running configure:

configure -v m68k-amigaos

Then run make, and you should be all set! (If these steps do not work, please send in a bug report; see section Reporting Problems and Bugs.)
