[MITgcm-devel] genmake2 fails with netcdf on SUN

[Martin Losch]

Hi Ed,
I am sorry that this Sun business is taking so much of your time.
pkg/mnc/Makefile works for me now. Thanks.
With the recent changes, have your tried to generate a Makefile with 
the following awk: /usr/bin/awk? I find that /usr/bin/awk swallows this 
line (and does the right thing)
                 extn=`echo $sf | $AWK -F. '{print $NF}'`
but not this one
#               extn=`echo $sf | $AWK 'BEGIN {FS="."}; {print $NF}'`
But as I said before, this problem is not the only problem with awk. 
Should we really spend time on sorting this out, given that the line 
AWK=gawk or AWK=nawk in the build options file takes care of 
everything? (There are also serios problems with xmakedepend if 
AWK=awk!!!)

As far as I know awk is really oawk (o=old) and nawk (new awk) is or 
should be the standard (source: Unix in a Nutshell, 1994).
