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

  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
  43 Additional build-time package requirements:
  44     ncurses-devel / libncurses5-devel
  45     gdbm-devel, db4-devel or libdb-devel/libdb-dev (only needed for slocal(1))
  46     readline-devel (if you want readline support)
  47     cyrus-sasl-devel / libsasl2-dev (if configuring with --with-cyrus-sasl)
  48     openssl-devel / libssl-dev (if configuring with --with-tls)
  49
  50 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  51                                    Mac OS X
  52 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  53
  54 If configured with --with-tls on Mac OS 10.7 or later, there will be
  55 compile warnings from mts/smtp/smtp.c about the deprecated OpenSSL
  56 that is supplied with that system.  nmh will build and run with that
  57 OpenSSL, though it may be an old version.  Alternatively, the OpenSSL
  58 source code is available from http://www.openssl.org/source/.  To
  59 build 64-bit libraries, the OpenSSL configure command should start
  60 with, e.g.,
  61     ./Configure darwin64-x86_64-cc
  62
  63 To build nmh with those OpenSSL libraries, the CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS
  64 can be set by adding the following to the nmh configure command line,
  65 or in the shell environment before calling configure or build_nmh:
  66     CPPFLAGS='-D__arch64__ -IOpenSSL-include-path' LDFLAGS=-LOpenSSL-lib-path
  67
  68 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  69                                    FreeBSD
  70 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  71
  72 Additional build-time package requirements:
  73     devel/autotools
  74
  75 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  76                                     Cygwin
  77 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  78
  79 Run-time package requirements:
  80     file
  81     libncurses10 or libncursesw10
  82     libgdbm4 (only needed for slocal(1))
  83     libiconv or libiconv2 (if you want iconv support)
  84     libreadline7 (if you want readline support)
  85     libsasl2_3 (if configured with --with-cyrus-sasl)
  86     openssl (if configured with --with-tls)
  87
  88 Additional build-time package requirements:
  89     libncurses-devel or libncursesw-devel
  90     libgdbm4-devel (only needed for slocal(1))
  91     libiconv-devel (if you want iconv support)
  92     libreadline-devel (if you want readline support)
  93     libsasl2-devel (if configuring with --with-cyrus-sasl)
  94     openssl-devel (if configuring with --with-tls)
  95
  96     Older versions of libncurses-devel do not install /usr/include/curses.h,
  97     /usr/include/term.h, and /usr/include/termcap.h.  If yours does not,
  98     either add symlinks in /usr/include/ to those files in its ncurses/
  99     subdirectory, or build with:
 100         make DEFAULT_INCLUDES='-I. -I/usr/include/ncurses'
 101
 102 When running the nmh test suite ("make check"), it helps to have /usr/bin/
 103 ahead of any Windows directories on your PATH.
 104
 105 Note that the -link switch to refile cannot be used on FAT32 and other
 106 filesystems that do not support hard links.
 107
 108 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 109                                      HPUX
 110 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 111
 112 Lots of problems have been reported with using HPUX `cc'.  In particular,
 113 problems with `scan' giving incorrect dates (everything is 01/00).  It is
 114 highly recommended that you use `gcc' instead.
 115
 116 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 117                                   Irix (SGI)
 118 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 119
 120 Irix make is notoriously buggy. If you're using it, you should "touch
 121 config.h.in" before configuring to prevent a problem where it tries to rebuild
 122 targets that shouldn't be rebuilt. (Alternately, you can just use GNU make
 123 instead of Irix make.)
 124
 125 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 126                            SunOS 4.1.1/4.1.3/4.1.4
 127 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 128
 129 You can't use the C compiler that comes with SunOS 4 since it isn't ANSI C.
 130 But nmh builds just fine with gcc.
