B.3.1.5 Using gawk
In The MSYS Environment
In the MSYS environment under MS-Windows, gawk
automatically
uses binary mode for reading and writing files. Thus, there is no
need to use the BINMODE
variable.
This can cause problems with other Unix-like components that have
been ported to MS-Windows that expect gawk
to do automatic
translation of "\r\n"
, because it won’t.
Under MSYS2, compilation using the standard ‘./configure && make
’
recipe works “out of the box.”
