+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
+FreeBSD
+IRIX 6.5
+Linux 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 (glibc 2.1, glibc 2.2)
+Mac OS X Public Beta
+NetBSD 1.4.2
+OpenBSD
+Solaris 7 and 8 (sparc,x86)
+SunOS 4.1
+Known Compilation problems:
+--------------------------------------
FreeBSD:
OpenBSD:
NetBSD:
is disabled. With debugging enabled, it compiles and runs happily.
--------------------------------------
-
HPUX:
Lots of problems have been reported with using HPUX `cc'. In particular,
after line 15 of the file zotnet/tws/lexstring.c.
--------------------------------------
-
Irix (SGI):
Irix make is notoriously buggy. If you're using it, you should "touch
rebuild targets that shouldn't be rebuilt. (Alternately, you can just
use GNU make instead of Irix make.)
-If you are compiling nmh with POP support, then the configuration
-process will search for (and find) the Irix version of "ruserpass".
-Unfortunately, this version is buggy and causes core dumps. The best
-bet is to use the version that comes with nmh. After running configure,
-edit the Makefile in the "sbr" directory, and add "ruserpass.o" to the
-LIBOBJS line. Then run "make" as normal.
-
--------------------------------------
-
Linux:
-*** No longer necessary ***
-Make sure you uncomment the Linux section in the config.h file after
-running configure.
-
-*** This test has been updated and should work now ***
-The configuration script does a test to discover the functions
-sigsetjmp/siglongjmp. Since they are macros on Linux, the configuration
-process doesn't find them. After running configure, you should change
-the line in config.h to define HAVE_SIGSETJMP.
-
-*** This test has been updated and should work now ***
-For some Linux distributions, the configure script doesn't find the
-ndbm/gdbm library (dbm_open, dbm_close). In this case, you should try to
-configure nmh like this:
-
- LIBS=-lgdbm ./configure [configure options]
-
The configuration script does a test to discover if your vi is broken
(if it reports non-zero exit codes on certain pseudo-errors). This test
will hang if the program `ex' on your system is a link to the vi clone
vi clone such as nvi or elvis.
--------------------------------------
-
-SCO:
-
-*** currently handled by config.guess ***
-Make sure you uncomment the SCO section in the config.h file after
-running configure.
-
---------------------------------------
-
Solaris:
With --enable-debug you'll see a lot of warnings. This is even worse
with UTC-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.
