Description Unknown 2002-10-07 15:42:50 UTC 
A top level dmake gives the follwing error using CL.EXE version 12 and 13:

build -- version: 1.41

=============
Building project freetype
=============
D:/OOffice/freetype
4NT: Unknown command "awk"

---*RULES.MK*---

ERROR: Error 65280 occurred while making D:/OOffice/freetype
dmake: Error code 129, while making 'build_all'
---*TG_SLO.MK*---

Is anyone aware of a workaround? I've tried copying another version of the 
executable CL.EXE but doesn't work.

Any suggestions.
Thanks!

Obviosly awk is missing, or $AWK is pointing to the wrong place.

Powen, can you please show us the line with the AWK definition
from your winenv.bat.
Or simply add your whole winenv.bat as an attachment.

This probably is a configuration issue. The configure from newer
versions (OO0 1.0.2) checks if awk is there and usable for W32.

Closing with WORKSFORME
