1 B.3.1.2 Compiling 'gawk' for PC Operating Systems
1 .................................................
1 
1 'gawk' can be compiled for Windows32 using MinGW (Windows32).  The file
1 'README_d/README.pc' in the 'gawk' distribution contains additional
1 notes, and 'pc/Makefile' contains important information on compilation
1 options.
1 
1    To build 'gawk' for Windows32, copy the files in the 'pc' directory
1 (_except_ for 'ChangeLog') to the directory with the rest of the 'gawk'
1 sources, then invoke 'make' with the appropriate target name as an
1 argument to build 'gawk'.  The 'Makefile' copied from the 'pc' directory
1 contains a configuration section with comments and may need to be edited
1 in order to work with your 'make' utility.
1 
1    The 'Makefile' supports a number of targets for building various
1 MS-DOS and Windows32 versions.  A list of targets is printed if the
1 'make' command is given without a target.  As an example, to build a
1 native MS-Windows binary of 'gawk' using the MinGW tools, type 'make
1 mingw32'.
