B.3.1.2 Compiling gawk
for PC Operating Systems
gawk
can be compiled for Windows32 using MinGW (Windows32).
The file README_d/README.pc
in the gawk
distribution
contains additional notes, and pc/Makefile
contains important
information on compilation options.
To build gawk
for Windows32, copy the files in
the pc
directory (except for ChangeLog
) to the
directory with the rest of the gawk
sources, then invoke
make
with the appropriate target name as an argument to
build gawk
. The Makefile
copied from the pc
directory contains a configuration section with comments and may need
to be edited in order to work with your make
utility.
The Makefile
supports a number of targets for building various
MS-DOS and Windows32 versions. A list of targets is printed if the
make
command is given without a target. As an example,
to build a native MS-Windows binary of gawk
using the MinGW tools,
type ‘make mingw32
’.
