awk: illegal statement at source line 1 about thot

[atomberg]

Hi joy369,

This warning message happens because of an error on line 309 of utils/sw_models/thot_pbs_gen_batch_sw_model.sh script. It can be removed by fixing this file as follows:

309: -  log_ext=`echo $file | $AWK '{print substr($1,length($1)-3)==".log"}'`
309: +  log_ext=`echo $file | $AWK '{print (substr($1,length($1)-3)==".log")}'` 

You should replace the version without the parentheses (top line) with the one with the parentheses around substr (bottom line). Rerunning make should copy this file to /usr/local/bin/thot_pbs_gen_batch_sw_model and the warning messages should disappear.

Let me know if it worked for you,
Cheers.

Hi,
first of all, thanks very much to atomberg for pointing out to the exact cause of the problem and proposing a solution. I think it is a portability issue related to awk, since I have never found the errors reported by joy369 when using the tool across different platforms.

I have added a patch to solve the problem permanently. It is necessary to execute git pull and reinstall the package. It would be great if you can confirm that now everything works correctly.

Regards.

Hi again,

Thank both of you a lot, It works perfectly now.
I think it might be related to the platform I used is MAC OS sierra.
At first I try to assign AWK = gawk, and the error seem to be fixed.
Then I try the method that @atomberg mentioned and it also can solve this problem.
Thank @daormar for upgrading a new version.
