In src/Makefile.in, which I think is used to generate src/Makefile, there are lines (~line 3065): globals.cc: globals.h mk-globals-c.pl $(AWK) -f $(srcdir)/mk-globals-c.awk < $(srcdir)/globals.h > $@ string_arrays.c: enums.h mk-string-arrays.pl $(AWK) -f $(srcdir)/mk-string-arrays.awk < $(srcdir)/enums.h > $@ When I ran make, it tried to run awk on the respective ".h" files to produce the associated .cc files. However, the awk scripts were missing. There are perl scripts (the ones listed as dependencies) and running those with perl generate, what appears to be the correct output. Have the perl scripts recently replaced the awk scripts and the Makefile.in in the source dir hasn't been updated (from snapshot 20060308)? thanks, -linda
