I dislike this idea. I realize (now) that awk is available on Windows, but Perl is already required to build Apache on Windows, and all of a sudden we are going to add the requirement of awk too. Why? We already require Perl on every platform when building Apache, but we do not currently

When I originally wrote the buildexports stuff, we didn't require Perl to build Apache, because that file could be generated once and just bundled with Apache. With the move to create those files during the build steps, we now require Perl just to build. I think the best solution is to move

I would love to know what it is. The regex isn't that complex, and regex's in Perl shouldn't have really changed between 5.005_02 and 5.005_03. Hm I can repeat the same effect on another machine with Red Hat 5.1 (also 5.005_02). Are we going to raise the entry barrier for

What makes you think the awk solution is any more portable than the Perl solution? I would much rather determine what is happening than to just give up on the Perl solution. Please take a look at the definition of those functions and make sure they actually match the regex. You could try

Hmm. Have you noticed apr_MD5Encode and apr_get_home_directory are in there twice? Is it possible that you're getting doubles? Maybe you have a backup copy of apr_uuid.h and apr_md5.h in your include directory, and it's picking them up? line was not cleared correctly. Whoops. I used the

We should document that URL for fetching a Windows-compatible AWK. Are there binary distributions? I'd also be fine redistributing from apache.org so that people don't have to hunt this stuff down at other sites. Three candidates (create exactly the same output): gawk 3.0.6 for Win32:
