Subject: [PATCH] Document awk requirements
Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2009 22:34:13 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091214213413.GA9816@nb-core2.darkstar.lan> (raw)

Hello,
current -git kernel fails to build with this error message:

  GEN     arch/x86/lib/inat-tables.c
  Error: Your awk doesn't support charactor-class.

mawk is installed; it appears that gawk is required, so:
---
Gnu awk is required for generating arch/x86/lib/inat-tables.c
