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

  31 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  32                                     Linux
  33 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  34
  35 Run-time package requirements:
  36     ncurses-libs
  37     gdbm, db4, or libdb (only needed for slocal(1))
  38     readline (if you want readline support)
  39     cyrus-sasl-lib / libsasl2 (if configured with --with-cyrus-sasl)
  40     openssl-libs / libssl (if configured with --with-tls)
  41     libcurl (if configured with --with-oauth)
  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     libcurl-devel / libcurl-dev (if configured with --with-oauth)
  50
  51 Test suite package requirements:
  52     ncurses (tput is needed to run test/format/test-curses)
  53
  54 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  55                                    Mac OS X
  56 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  57
  58 If configured with --with-tls on Mac OS 10.7 or later, there will be
  59 compile warnings from mts/smtp/smtp.c about the deprecated OpenSSL
  60 that is supplied with that system.  nmh will build and run with that
  61 OpenSSL, though it may be an old version.  Alternatively, the OpenSSL
  62 source code is available from http://www.openssl.org/source/.  To
  63 build 64-bit libraries, the OpenSSL configure command should start
  64 with, e.g.,
  65     ./Configure darwin64-x86_64-cc
  66
  67 To build nmh with those OpenSSL libraries, the CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS
  68 can be set by adding the following to the nmh configure command line,
  69 or in the shell environment before calling configure or build_nmh:
  70     CPPFLAGS='-D__arch64__ -IOpenSSL-include-path' LDFLAGS=-LOpenSSL-lib-path
  71
  72 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  73                                    FreeBSD
  74 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  75
  76 Additional build-time package requirements:
  77     devel/autotools
  78     ftp/curl (if configured with --with-oauth)
  79
  80 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  81                                     Cygwin
  82 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  83
  84 Run-time package requirements:
  85     file
  86     libncurses10 or libncursesw10
  87     libgdbm4 (only needed for slocal(1))
  88     libiconv or libiconv2 (if you want iconv support)
  89     libreadline7 (if you want readline support)
  90     libsasl2_3 (if configured with --with-cyrus-sasl)
  91     openssl (if configured with --with-tls)
  92     libcurl (if configured with --with-oauth)
  93
  94 Additional build-time package requirements:
  95     libncurses-devel or libncursesw-devel
  96     libgdbm4-devel (only needed for slocal(1))
  97     libiconv-devel (if you want iconv support)
  98     libreadline-devel (if you want readline support)
  99     libsasl2-devel (if configuring with --with-cyrus-sasl)
 100     openssl-devel (if configuring with --with-tls)
 101     libcurl-devel (if configured with --with-oauth)
 102
 103     Older versions of libncurses-devel do not install /usr/include/curses.h,
 104     /usr/include/term.h, and /usr/include/termcap.h.  If yours does not,
 105     either add symlinks in /usr/include/ to those files in its ncurses/
 106     subdirectory, or build with:
 107         make DEFAULT_INCLUDES='-I. -I/usr/include/ncurses'
 108
 109 Test suite package requirements:
 110     ncurses (tput is needed to run test/format/test-curses)
 111
 112 Note that the -link switch to refile cannot be used on FAT32 and other
 113 filesystems that do not support hard links.
 114
 115 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 116                                      HPUX
 117 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 118
 119 Lots of problems have been reported with using HPUX `cc'.  In particular,
 120 problems with `scan' giving incorrect dates (everything is 01/00).  It is
 121 highly recommended that you use `gcc' instead.
 122
 123 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 124                                   Irix (SGI)
 125 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 126
 127 Irix make is notoriously buggy. If you're using it, you should "touch
 128 config.h.in" before configuring to prevent a problem where it tries to rebuild
 129 targets that shouldn't be rebuilt. (Alternately, you can just use GNU make
 130 instead of Irix make.)

 132 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 133                            SunOS 4.1.1/4.1.3/4.1.4
 134 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 135
 136 You can't use the C compiler that comes with SunOS 4 since it isn't ANSI C.
 137 But nmh builds just fine with gcc.
