Hey autoconf gang, I recently posted a question to unix.stackexchange.com asking for the best way to programmatically determine which flavor of awk is present on a given host. Someone suggested using the AC_PROG_AWK macro, but didn't elaborate on how this would work. Unforunately I'm only passingly familiar with the GNU build system and I can't quite make sense of the autoconf source code that I've looked at (e.g. programs.m4 and autoconf.m4f). Can anyone here explain to a novice like me how I might be able to make use of this macro to construct a simple bash script which determines which variety of awk is in the path? Here's a link to the post in case anyone would like to post their solution there: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/236655/how-to-programmatically-detect-awk-flavor-e-g-gawk-vs-nawk Thanks!
