[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] package/brltty: add host-gawk dependency

[Fabrice Fontaine]

host-gawk is used by brltty to build brlapi_constants.h, the build will
fail if mawk is used instead of gawk

It seemed like a simple patch, but I can't reproduce the error with mawk
on my machine:

    $ update-alternatives --get-selections |grep awk
    awk                            manual   /usr/bin/mawk
    $ awk --version
    awk: not an option: --version
    $ wget -O .config http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/4c77f03cbc7ab9e5ae9f24fe6eead1d76c50c743/config
    $ make olddefconfig
    $ make brltty

Success...

So, there is something else lurking in the darkness... :-/

Yann E. MORIN.

So I did further research, and indeed it fails if awk is mawk, and gawk
is not installed on the system. Indeed, AC_PROG_AWK will actually search
for gawk, then mawk, then awk.

So my test above was flawed, as I stil did get gawk installed. I retried
on a system without gawk, and I could reproduce the error.

Patch applied to master, thanks.

Yann E. MORIN.
