nmh is known to compile on the following platforms (save the
exceptions noted below), using an ANSI C compiler, such as gcc.
AIX 4.1.5.0.01
-Cygwin, setup version 2.763
+Cygwin (setup version 2.763, other versions may be fine)
FreeBSD
IRIX 6.5
-Linux 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 (glibc 2.1, glibc 2.2)
-Mac OS X Public Beta
+Linux 2.2 to current (glibc 2.1 to current)
+Mac OS X
NetBSD 1.4.2
OpenBSD
Solaris 7 and 8 (sparc,x86)
Known Compilation problems:
--------------------------------------
-FreeBSD:
-OpenBSD:
-NetBSD:
-
-Some BSD4.4 machines have problems when running nmh's configure script.
-They will be unable to find the location of vi and sendmail. This is
-due to POSIX features (breakage?) in the shell sh. The solution is to
-run the configure script under the shell `bash':
-
- % bash configure
-
---------------------------------------
-Mac OS X/Rhapsody 5:
+Cygwin:
-Version 5.3 at least has the same sh/bash bug as the *BSD systems
-above. This appears to be fixed in 5.5.
+Be sure to install these Cygwin packages:
+ gdbm
+ libgdbm4
+ libgdbm-devel
+ libncurses10
+ libncurses-devel
-Will not compile correctly unless you configure with the --enable-debug
-option. It appears to find conflicts in the headers only when debugging
-is disabled. With debugging enabled, it compiles and runs happily.
+If configuring with --with-cyrus-sasl, install these Cygwin packages:
+ libsasl2
+ libsas2-devel
---------------------------------------
-Cygwin:
+If configuring with --with-tls, install these Cygwin packages:
+ gnutls-devel
+ libgnutls26
-Be sure to install Cygwin package libncurses-devel, in the Devel or
-Libs category. And libncurses10 or later in the Lib category.
+Note that the -link switch to refile cannot be used on FAT32 and
+similar filesystems.
--------------------------------------
HPUX:
moment. An explicit cast would get rid of the warnings, but I think
it's better to leave it complaining for now until we come up with
a better solution. The whole thing is probablly going to be chucked
-with UTC-8 support anyway.
+with UTF-8 support anyway.
Other than the warnings, it builds ok.
+
--------------------------------------
SunOS 4.1.1/4.1.3/4.1.4:
You can't use the C compiler that comes with SunOS 4 since
it isn't ANSI C. But nmh builds just fine with gcc. With
--enable-debug you will see a lot of warnings.
