BUG: apr-util 1.2.2-1

[danchr@…]

The apr-util port has a missing build dependancy on gawk. The following small patch fixes it:

I don't believe I have gawk installed on any of my machines that I've successfully built apr-util on, can you give me some more details of why it's necessary?

[danchr@…]

Well, the build failed with an error that it couldn't find gawk. If you wish, I can induce the error again to give you the specific output.

I was creating a new setup with the dplight branch, and apr-util wasn't available as an RPM. I suspect this is because it failed for jbj when he built it.

Output from 'port -v build apr-util'

Here's the output. Funny thing is; if you try to build a couple of times, it succeeds :)

I don't see gawk mentioned at all in the tarball that gets extracted for apr-util.

there is an apr_rules.mk file that sets AWK=awk ... perhaps that's getting overwritten in your environment?

It looks like the configure for apr might look for gawk, mawk, nawk, or awk and set the apr_rules.mk based on that finding.

So, if it finds gawk when you install it and then you remove gawk before installing apr-util I think you'll see the below, maybe?

I'm not sure if that's what's happening for you, or not. Can you check and see if that's plausible?
