1172	Ncurses 6.0 and Hosts with mawk and gawk	William Harrington	clfs-commits@…	"It may be that older versions of mawk are keeping ncurses 6.0 from building. Anyone with a host system install that has mawk and no gawk, or mawk and gawk may encounter issues where mawk is found first before gawk because of the configure system.

Add the following before configure:
{{{
AWK=gawk
}}}

Another option is to add a '''sed''' command:
{{{
sed -i 's/.:space:./ \t/g' ncurses/base/MKlib_gen.sh
}}}

or

{{{
sed -i s/mawk// configure
}}}"	defect	closed	major	CLFS Standard 3.1.0	BOOK	CLFS Standard GIT	duplicate		berzerkula@… jonathan@… chris@… cross-lfs@…
