gawk
on VMSTo compile gawk
under VMS, there is a DCL
command procedure
that issues all the necessary CC
and LINK
commands. There is
also a Makefile for use with the MMS
and MMK
utilities.
From the source directory, use either:
$ @[.vms]vmsbuild.com
or:
$ MMS/DESCRIPTION=[.vms]descrip.mms gawk
or:
$ MMK/DESCRIPTION=[.vms]descrip.mms gawk
Note that the vmsbuild.com
method of building is no longer being
maintained and is planned to be removed in the future.
MMK
is an open source, free, near-clone of MMS
and
can better handle ODS-5 volumes with upper- and lowercase file names.
MMK
is available from https://github.com/endlesssoftware/mmk.
With ODS-5 volumes and extended parsing enabled, the case of the target parameter may need to be exact.
gawk
has been tested using these VMS Software, Inc.
Community editions.
Due to HPE cancelling the Hobbyist licensing program, no more testing is being done on older releases of VAX/VMS and OpenVMS.
See The VMS GNV Project for information on building
gawk
as a PCSI kit that is compatible with the GNV product.
