 B.4.1.1 Compiling `gawk' on the Atari ST
 ........................................
 
 A proper compilation of `gawk' sources when `sizeof(int)' differs from
 `sizeof(void *)' requires an ISO C compiler. An initial port was done
 with `gcc'.  You may actually prefer executables where `int's are four
 bytes wide but the other variant works as well.
 
    You may need quite a bit of memory when trying to recompile the
 `gawk' sources, as some source files (`regex.c' in particular) are quite
 big.  If you run out of memory compiling such a file, try reducing the
 optimization level for this particular file, which may help.
 
    With a reasonable shell (`bash' will do), you have a pretty good
 chance that the `configure' utility will succeed, and in particular if
 you run GNU/Linux, MiNT or a similar operating system.  Otherwise
 sample versions of `config.h' and `Makefile.st' are given in the
 `atari' subdirectory and can be edited and copied to the corresponding
 files in the main source directory.  Even if `configure' produces
 something, it might be advisable to compare its results with the sample
 versions and possibly make adjustments.
 
    Some `gawk' source code fragments depend on a preprocessor define
 `atarist'.  This basically assumes the TOS environment with `gcc'.
 Modify these sections as appropriate if they are not right for your
 environment.  Also see the remarks about `AWKPATH' and `envsep' in
  Atari Using.
 
    As shipped, the sample `config.h' claims that the `system' function
 is missing from the libraries, which is not true, and an alternative
 implementation of this function is provided in
 `unsupported/atari/system.c'.  Depending upon your particular
 combination of shell and operating system, you might want to change the
 file to indicate that `system' is available.
