-Subject: configure: print_in_columns: Replace pr with awk
-X-Git-Url: http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=99147312ce6ffd3a3b70e10aacc9b64a63b6aefe

-configure: print_in_columns: Replace pr with awk
-
-Get rid of pr dependency and write the columns strictly
-alphabetical without page size considerations (POSIX
-specifies 66 lines as default).
-
-Setting the page size via pr's -l option was considered,
-but as there is issue #5680 which wants to avoid pr
-mainly because it's not in busybox, we chose to replace
-pr instead.
-
-Before pr would attempt to write pages, thus if a page
-boundary was reached, the output looked confusing as one
-couldn't see there was a new page and the alphabetical
-order was disrupted when scanning down one of the columns.
-
-This change is based on a shell implementation submitted
-before by Yejun.
-
-Possible differences to the current version using pr:
-1. pr implementations should truncate items to not overflow columns;
-   depending on how it's done not truncating shall be better IMHO.
-2. pr implementations might balance columns differently;
-   we use minimum number of lines and might end up not
-   using all columns or might have lesser entries in the
-   last column(s)
-3. we use spaces only for padding the columns; at least the GNU pr
-   version on my system also by default stuffs in tabs in addition
-   to a single space in between columns. I don't see that this
-   behaviour is demanded by POSIX, though I might be very well
-   overlooking things. Anyway for our use case I can't see a need
-   for having the additional tabs, or why it would be better compared
-   to padding with spaces only.
-
-Fixes output for sizes with width < column width, too.
-
-Fixes remaining part of ticket #5680
