Build failures on OpenIndiana 151a

Build failures on OpenIndiana 151a

[Johann 'Myrkraverk' Oskarsson]

Hi all,

I get the following error (and lots like it) when I try to build zsh,
both 4.3.13 and 4.2.7 on OpenIndiana build 151a.

gmake[2]: Entering directory `/home/johann/build/zsh-4.3.12/Src'
cc -c -I. -I../Src -I../Src -I../Src/Zle -I. -I/usr/include/pcre
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H -m64  -o builtin.o builtin.c
"builtin.epro", line 26: invalid source character: '@'
"builtin.epro", line 26: syntax error before or at: {

Sometimes, and not always, the @{ is not changed to _(( as it should
be.  For those few lines it works to change them manually.
There are also @! to , and I think @> to )) errors.

What is wrong in the build system?  I'm sure it's a "bug" in OI but
since I'm not well versed in shell and build scripts I don't know
where to check really.  If possible I'd like to find the faulty
component in OI and fix it.

[This type of question is better directed to the zsh-workers list, but
I'll answer on zsh-users since the question appeared here.]

The .epro files are generated by Src/makepro.awk, so this is probably
an incompatibility with the OpenIndiana 'awk' program.

Possibly that awk does not implement the gsub() function?

Thank you.

OpenIndiana comes with gawk 3.1.5.  After compiling and installing
4.0.0 and using that it works.  Trying to ./configure with
AWK=/usr/bin/awk fails in different ways.

Have you tried AWK=/usr/bin/nawk.

I'm fairly sure that that solved issues on Solaris for me in the past
and is somewhat less effort than compiling gawk 4.

I can't remember if this was the problem I ran into compiling zsh on
Solaris, but our build explicitly sets LANG=C for the build because at
least my default locale of en_US.UTF-8 makes gawk go bananas.
