apache2 port failed to build on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

[akh@…]

When compiling apache2 on Leopard you get this

Simply install gawk port install gawk, then port clean apache2, and port install apache2. Don't know really why, maybe the awk in Tiger was a different awk, and is has changed in Leopard ...

Solution: dependencies on gawk ?

[ryandesign@…]

ncursesw has also needed to be updated to depend on gawk. See #13053. Leopard's gawk is weird apparently.

[ryandesign@…]

Since we haven't heard from the maintainer, but we continue to get reports of this problem on the mailing list, I'm committing the fix in r32173.

[ryandesign@…]

Undid r32173 in r36878. gawk is not necessary nor sufficient to fix this issue. This is just another instance of the Leopard environment variable issue, which should now be fixed in MacPorts trunk.
