cgminer @3.2.2 - build failure when nawk is active

cgminer fails to build.

Error is:

Error: org.macports.configure for port cgminer returned: configure failure: command execution failed
Please see the log file for port cgminer for details:

The log says:

:info:configure  input record number 16, file
:info:configure  source line number 306

We've seen this problem several times before with other ports. The problem is that you have the nawk port installed, and cgminer tries to find an awk implementation for its configuration, and decides to use nawk, but nawk is not compatible with what the configuration wants to do. If you temporarily deactivate the nawk port, then you should be able to build cgminer. You can re-activate nawk later if you want.

sudo port clean cgminer
sudo port -f deactivate nawk
sudo port install cgminer
sudo port activate nawk

In other ports we've used the conflicts_build portgroup to handle this conflict. Perhaps this could be added to this port as well.

Interesting, I can't reproduce this when using nawk:

We both seem to be using the Mountain Lion with the latest Xcode, so this is a strange one...

Can you confirm that deactivating nawk allows you to build?

[cooljeanius (Eric Gallager)]

Also if you install gawk, the configure script will pick that up first and use that instead of nawk. Also gawk is the best of the awks so you should probably install it anyways.

Replying to egall@…:

So another solution could be to add gawk to depends_build

I tried the gawk solution and it worked. Thanks, everyone!
