Waldek,

I usually install gawk on my machine, but on testing Debian 10 I didn't.
FriCAS configure ran fine with the default mawk, but failed at my ht.awk
script in the "formatted" branch.

mawk complained about the "next" in line 554.

https://github.com/hemmecke/fricas/blob/formatted/src/doc/ht.awk#L554

Before a try to look what  is to be changed, can you confirm that FriCAS
should run fine with any awk?

The code in configure.ac
https://github.com/hemmecke/fricas/blob/formatted/configure.ac#L101
claims at least for solaris9 that gawk is needed.

Is FriCAS supposed to work with mawk? Can we require gawk in general or
would you rather like to be able to build with any awk?

If it is any awk, then what is the language that is accepted for FriCAS
awk scripts, since there are quite a few differences between the various
awks.

In that "any awk case", it would be helpful to know the reason why mawk says

make[3]: Entering directory '/home/hemmecke/scratch/fricas/src/doc'
mawk -f /home/hemmecke/g/fricas/src/doc/ht.awk
/home/hemmecke/g/fricas/src/doc/htex/ug02.htex tmp > ug02.ht
mawk: /home/hemmecke/g/fricas/src/doc/ht.awk: line 554: improper use of next
make[3]: *** [Makefile:477: ug02.ht] Error 2
