Re: fedora 42 doesn't have awk: how to deal with autoconf subst?

not by default; it is optional.

on gentoo one has to use USE=make-symlinks.

debian does not install links (sym or hard) by default.

afaict, only the dists which use bb applets by default do so.

but the point was that the binary does not require them.

so if a dist lacks awk in $PATH, but has busybox in $PATH, then calling
"busybox awk $rest" could be checked so as to make the scripts work.

i only asked whether that would be useful for the autotools, just in
case it is the only already-installed option.

i do not understand the negativity to that.
