To unpack the tarball: $ gunzip -c gawk-4.0.0.tar.gz | pax -rv from=ISO8859-1,to=IBM-1047 This will extract the files and convert them from ASCII to EBCDIC. If you do not have the gunzip program on your system you can perform the operation on another system and copy the tar file to z/OS. Then unpack as follows: $ pax -rv from=ISO8859-1,to=IBM-1047 -f gawk-4.0.0.tar 2. To Build $ ./configure CC=c89 $ make You will get compilation warnings of the form: WARNING CBC3343 ./dfa.c:332 Redeclaration of dfasyntax differs from previous declaration on line 404 of "./dfa.h". Because the IBM compiler complains when a function is decalared using prototypes in the header and is defined without prototypes in the code these warnings can be ignored. 3. To Install: $ make install 4. To Test (optional): $ make check NOTE: Since the test suite was defined for an ASCII and IEEE floating point environment several of the tests will fail under z/OS.
