<title>Installation of Gawk</title>
<para>Before installing the Gawk package you have to apply a patch,
which fixes the following issues:</para>
<para>First apply a patch to fix the following issues:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>Gawk's default location for libexecdir is <filename
class="directory">$prefix/libexecdir/awk</filename>. This location doesn't
comply with FHS (which never mentions a directory called
libexecdir).</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Gawk's default location for some of its executables is
<filename>$prefix/libexec/awk</filename>. This location doesn't comply
with the FHS, which never even mentions a directory called
<filename>libexec</filename>. The patch makes it possible to pass a
<emphasis>--libexecdir</emphasis> switch to the configure script, so that we
can use a more appropriate location for the <userinput>grcat</userinput> and
<userinput>pwcat</userinput> binaries:
<filename>/usr/bin</filename>.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The patch allows us to pass
<emphasis>--libexecdir</emphasis> to the configure script (without gawk
tacking on /awk to the end), so that we can use a more appropriate location
for gawk's libexecdir (<filename class="directory">/usr/bin</filename> in
the book).</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Gawk's default data directory is
<filename>$prefix/share/awk</filename>. But package-specific
directories should be named using the package name and version number
(for example: <filename>gawk-7.7.2.</filename>) and not simply the package
name, as there may be different versions of a package installed on the system.
The patch changes the name of the data directory to the correct
<filename>$prefix/share/gawk-&gawk-version;</filename>.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The default data directory for gawk is <filename
class="directory">$prefix/share/awk</filename>. A package specific
directory should be named using the package and version (like
gawk-&gawk-version; instead of awk) because there may be more than one awk
interpreter on a system (and more than one version of gawk). The patch changes
this to <filename class="directory">$prefix/share/gawk-&gawk-version;</filename>
to be more correct.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The patch ensures that this directory (<filename
class="directory">$prefix/share/gawk-&gawk-version;</filename>) is removed along
with its contents on a make uninstall.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The patch also ensures that this data directory, including its
contents, is removed on a <emphasis>make uninstall</emphasis>.</para></listitem>
