Check the version tag in KUAL's footer, the final letter after the comma is all about this: a for busybox, g for gawk.

so seems like its not using gnu's gawk yet. Would love any advice to get this installed.

here is what my extensions directory looks like:

Code:
[root@kindle extensions]# ls
BatteryStatus  README.md      gawk           linkfonts      sox
ChangeLog.txt  VERSION        helper_OLD     linkfonts-ovr  syncthing
KUAL.cfg       eboard         koreader       linkss         usbnet
MRInstaller    extensions     leafpad        skipstone      vlasovsoft
[root@kindle extensions]# cd gawk
[root@kindle gawk]# ls
bin         config.xml  data        menu.json
[root@kindle gawk]# pwd
/mnt/us/extensions/gawk
[root@kindle gawk]# ls -l
total 32
drwxrwxrwx    2 root     root          8192 May 12 14:17 bin
-rwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           253 May 29  2018 config.xml

-rwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           459 May 29  2018 menu.json
[root@kindle gawk]# ls -l data/
total 1136

-rwxrwxrwx    1 root     root        369316 May  1 18:54 gawk-K5.tar.gz
-rwxrwxrwx    1 root     root        375299 May  1 18:54 gawk-PW2.tar.gz
[root@kindle gawk]# ls -ls bin
total 8
     8 -rwxrwxrwx    1 root     root          6548 Jul 30  2019 gawk-install.sh
[root@kindle gawk]#
EDIT: I got this working; just ssh'd in and from the correct directory (which is not ./bin BTW lol) I manually ran the script and it works great. KUAL menu not appearing? Not stopping me
