Can you please have a look if virtual/awk is sufficient or if gawk is needed.
Pinkbute, please commit this
(In reply to comment #1) > Pinkbute, please commit this What does that mean (apart from the obvious spelling error)?
awk is only used for the build. The only place outside the autotools files is src/get_ver.awk, which is posix-conform. (Also WIN32-BUILD-TIPS.txt states nawk as one of the awk version to possible.) So all in all, virtual/awk should be fine.
