Majorly cool! The first thing to check is that 'make check' passes.
Some tests depend on locales; those are OK if they fail, assuming you
don't have locale data for them. Others are only run if gawk was built
with the MPFR library, so those should be OK too if they're not run. If
there are failures in other tests, they should be investigated.
I assume you built from the released tarball? Version 4.1.3?

Supplyinig them as static libraries would serve no purpose. Those
dynamic libraries are extensions (or plug-ins, if you will). Gawk
loads them vial dlopen() if requested to via an @load directive in
the source or the via the -l command line option.
I hope that dlopen works on Plan 9; if so it's necessary to build
the libraries in whatever way will work to support dlopen.
The extension facility is something we (the gawk developers) put a
lot of work into for the 4.1 release. I can supply pointers to doc
for anyone who is interested. Here's a simple example:
$ gawk -lreaddir '{ print }' .
2814749767529876/./d
281474977052502/../d
2814749767530561/.bashrc/f
281474976885114/.bash_history/f
14355223812503808/.bash_profile/f
1407374884183439/.bzr.log/f
281474976885116/.ex-sgml-rc/f
281474976885117/.exrc/f
...
The readdir extension returns directory entries as records in an
easily-parsed format: '/' is the field separator and the fields are
the inode, the name, and an optional single-letter file type indicator.
The doc has more examples.
I hope this helps. Please feel to contact me off-list if you need
more info / help.
Thanks!
Arnold

OK thanks - I will look at that and try to make a mk file for "check" :)
I will also look at mpfr some time

Yes 4.1.3
below is the ports entry:
https://bitbucket.org/mveety/9front-ports/src/0bf6695dcad94d32c34a73ed3d71010bbdf2a66b/textproc/gawk/?at=default
I used an "external" gnulib which apart from the gnulib-derived object files
usually supplied in gawk also takes care of the wchar-related dependencies.
I also used a custom/manual config.h and a semi-automatically generated mk-
file (mkmk and manual editing) rather than the standard configure/make.
For the actual source, there were just a few things that needed patching so
configure/make under APE might also work.

most likely not since the whole system is static...

The loaders support creating a module, with the -u and -x options, with import and export tables, which are type-checked, to be dynamically loaded. If the program you're working with won't compile and load statically with the -T option (external type checking), it's probably not worth pursuing. The type checking can spot bugs that other systems miss, as it did with Python. (A #define was present for one include of an #ifdef'd structure but not for another, so functions had different ideas about the layout.) There's an auxiliary library libdynld that's needed to load a module, that doesn't seem to be part of the distribution, but I probably have got the bits.

[9fans] 9P Cloud™
Hello 9fans, I'm pleased to announce the availability of the 9P Cloud service (https://www.9pcloud.net). The service lets users create secure, distributed file systems instantly, utilizing only HTML5 browsers. I've included the link to a short "Introduction to 9P Cloud" video. The backend is written in Go, and runs on a custom Plan 9 kernel. The service uses OAuth2 authentication; currently Google and Facebook are supported. The 9P server and client are written in JavaScript and require support for HTML5 Filesystem and WebSocket APIs in the browser. 9P Cloud would not be possible without the great work of many, some of whom are on this list. It should be a source of pride for the Plan 9 community, Go Authors and other open source projects (Skeleton, Font-Awesome, Google Fonts).

Re: [9fans] 9P Cloud™
No, i mean the other way around: I would like to access the files in a real file browser (as if they were mounted like a network share). this mounting (and login) process should happen automatically at boot. I currently do this for an sshfs share. A small arm computer does nothing else but exporting an sshfs mount to my local network (windows computers) via samba. Also I would like to resume sharing my files with my friend after a reboot. So for uplink I'd also need automatic login.

Re: [9fans] Gawk in 9front-ports
Why do you want gawk on plan9? I use awk a lot (on plan9 and elsewhere) and I wonder what reasons do you have to use gawk over plan9's awk. 2015-07-06 22:37 GMT-04:00 Jens Staal : > There was a recent discussion about that it would be nice to have gawk on > Plan9. > > The latest upstream version of gawk can now be built via 9front-ports.

Many features and extensions over standard awk. Different people will assign different levels of value to said features and extensions. A partial list: - The previously discussed dynamic plug-in facility - And awk-level debugger - A statement count profiler (and a pretty printer) - True arrays of arrays - Many more built-in functions and variables. In retrospect, some of these are just bloat and I'd have been better off without them. Arnold
