>Description:
awka 0.7.5 (awk to c converter) has a bug in the system function. Every system() call causes an error.
(ofcourse awk system() not c system() call)
>How-To-Repeat:
Write an awk script with system("echo 'Hello Wourld!'") and compile it with awka.
When starting the compiled binary you get :
Could not execute process in call to system(echo 'Hello World!')
>Fix:
Update awka to 0.7.5
