   4 nmh is routinely built and tested on recent versions of the following
   5 platforms:
   6     Cygwin (32- and 64-bit)
   7     FreeBSD 9
   8     FreeBSD 10
   9     Linux (Fedora, Ubuntu, and CentOS distributions)
  10     Mac OS X 10.9
  11     OpenBSD 5.4
  12     Solaris 11
  13
  14 nmh was known in the distant past to compile on the following platforms (save
  15 the exceptions noted below), using an ANSI C compiler, such as gcc:
  16     AIX 4.1.5.0.01
  17     IRIX 6.5
  18     NetBSD 1.4.2
  19     Solaris 7 and 8 (sparc,x86)
  20     SunOS 4.1
  21
  22 On all platforms, the following programs are required to build nmh from a
  23 snapshot of the source code repository:
  24     autoconf 2.68 or later
  25     automake 1.12 or later
  26     flex 2.5.4 or later
  27     bison 2.3 or later,  Berkeley yacc 1.9 or later, or Solaris yacc 4.0
  28 They are not required if building from an nmh distribution (.tar.gz) file.
  29
  30 Platform-specific notes follow.

  32 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  33                                     Linux
  34 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  35
  36 Run-time package requirements:
  37     ncurses-libs
  38     gdbm, db4, or libdb (only needed for slocal(1))
  39     readline (if you want readline support)
  40     cyrus-sasl-lib / libsasl2 (if configured with --with-cyrus-sasl)
  41     openssl-libs / libssl (if configured with --with-tls)
  42     libcurl (if configured with --with-oauth)
  43
  44 Additional build-time package requirements:
  45     ncurses-devel / libncurses5-devel
  46     gdbm-devel, db4-devel or libdb-devel/libdb-dev (only needed for slocal(1))
  47     readline-devel (if you want readline support)
  48     cyrus-sasl-devel / libsasl2-dev (if configuring with --with-cyrus-sasl)
  49     openssl-devel / libssl-dev (if configuring with --with-tls)
  50     libcurl-devel / libcurl-dev (if configured with --with-oauth)
  51
  52 Test suite package requirements:
  53     ncurses (tput is needed to run test/format/test-curses)
  54
  55 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  56                                    Mac OS X
  57 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  58
  59 If configured with --with-tls on Mac OS 10.7 or later, there will be
  60 compile warnings from mts/smtp/smtp.c about the deprecated OpenSSL
  61 that is supplied with that system.  nmh will build and run with that
  62 OpenSSL, though it may be an old version.  Alternatively, the OpenSSL
  63 source code is available from http://www.openssl.org/source/.  To
  64 build 64-bit libraries, the OpenSSL configure command should start
  65 with, e.g.,
  66     ./Configure darwin64-x86_64-cc
  67
  68 To build nmh with those OpenSSL libraries, the CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS
  69 can be set by adding the following to the nmh configure command line,
  70 or in the shell environment before calling configure or build_nmh:
  71     CPPFLAGS='-D__arch64__ -IOpenSSL-include-path' LDFLAGS=-LOpenSSL-lib-path
  72
  73 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  74                                    FreeBSD
  75 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  76
  77 Additional build-time package requirements:
  78     devel/autotools
  79     ftp/curl (if configured with --with-oauth)
  80
  81 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  82                                     Cygwin
  83 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  84
  85 Run-time package requirements:
  86     file
  87     libncurses10 or libncursesw10
  88     libgdbm4 (only needed for slocal(1))
  89     libiconv or libiconv2 (if you want iconv support)
  90     libreadline7 (if you want readline support)
  91     libsasl2_3 (if configured with --with-cyrus-sasl)
  92     openssl (if configured with --with-tls)
  93     libcurl (if configured with --with-oauth)
  94
  95 Additional build-time package requirements:
  96     libncurses-devel or libncursesw-devel
  97     libgdbm4-devel (only needed for slocal(1))
  98     libiconv-devel (if you want iconv support)
  99     libreadline-devel (if you want readline support)
 100     libsasl2-devel (if configuring with --with-cyrus-sasl)
 101     openssl-devel (if configuring with --with-tls)
 102     libcurl-devel (if configured with --with-oauth)
 103
 104     Older versions of libncurses-devel do not install /usr/include/curses.h,
 105     /usr/include/term.h, and /usr/include/termcap.h.  If yours does not,
 106     either add symlinks in /usr/include/ to those files in its ncurses/
 107     subdirectory, or build with:
 108         make DEFAULT_INCLUDES='-I. -I/usr/include/ncurses'
 109
 110 Test suite package requirements:
 111     ncurses (tput is needed to run test/format/test-curses)
 112
 113 Note that the -link switch to refile cannot be used on FAT32 and other
 114 filesystems that do not support hard links.
 115
 116 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 117                                      HPUX
 118 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 119
 120 Lots of problems have been reported with using HPUX `cc'.  In particular,
 121 problems with `scan' giving incorrect dates (everything is 01/00).  It is
 122 highly recommended that you use `gcc' instead.
 123
 124 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 125                                   Irix (SGI)
 126 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 127
 128 Irix make is notoriously buggy. If you're using it, you should "touch
 129 config.h.in" before configuring to prevent a problem where it tries to rebuild
 130 targets that shouldn't be rebuilt. (Alternately, you can just use GNU make
 131 instead of Irix make.)

 133 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 134                            SunOS 4.1.1/4.1.3/4.1.4
 135 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 136
 137 You can't use the C compiler that comes with SunOS 4 since it isn't ANSI C.
 138 But nmh builds just fine with gcc.
