awka

Query about awka installation.


I spent most of my years compiling on Sun
Os and have for the last 5 years been in retirement. My current
machine is an iMac running OS X 10.4.11

I am I have to admit out of touch with all the needs to get things to
compile under OS X.

As far as I'm aware the /usr/lib/libm on Darwin is /usr/lib/
libm.dylib.

When running the awka ./configure file there is the request to set
MATHLIB in config user.

I'm so rusty I need some guidance to get this compiled.

Any help much appreciated.

Best regards,

Martin Bradfield

I am on 10.4.11. I have the developer package from the install CD
installed and configuring and making awka just worked. The only problem
was one test module failed. It tests weird side-effects that I would
never use so I ignored it. Everything else checked out fine.

If you are running into problems, I would start by re-installing the
developer system and checking for any updates.
