Re: [Axiom-developer] Hyper doc search error

[Ralf Hemmecke]

Tim,

at compilation time it should be known whether one uses awk, gawk, or 
nawk and in which directory they live. My suggestion would be to 
generate a link (for example, ln -s /bin/awk $AXIOM/bin). Then use

#!./awk

in the first line of the file.

Or remove #!/bin/awk -f from presea and name the resulting file presea.awk

At compile time you generate a file "presea" with the following content:

#!/bin/sh
exec /path/to/[gn]?awk -f presea.awk


Oh, now I am just a bit curious. With all these paths it sounds like 
Axiom isn't running natively on Windows. Does one always need MinGW? 
(I'm not using it anyway, but just for curiosity...)
