   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 2.68 or later
  26     automake 1.12 or later
  27     flex 2.5.4 or later
  28     bison 2.3 or later,  Berkeley yacc 1.9 or later, or Solaris yacc 4.0
  29 They are not required if building from an nmh distribution (.tar.gz) file.
  30
  31 Platform-specific notes follow.

  33 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  34                                     Linux
  35 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  36
  37 Run-time package requirements:
  38     ncurses-libs
  39     gdbm, db4, or libdb (only needed for slocal(1))
  40     readline (if you want readline support)
  41     cyrus-sasl-lib / libsasl2 (if configured with --with-cyrus-sasl)
  42     openssl-libs / libssl (if configured with --with-tls)
  43     libcurl (if configured with --with-oauth)
  44
  45 Additional build-time package requirements:
  46     ncurses-devel / libncurses5-devel
  47     gdbm-devel, db4-devel or libdb-devel/libdb-dev (only needed for slocal(1))
  48     readline-devel (if you want readline support)
  49     cyrus-sasl-devel / libsasl2-dev (if configuring with --with-cyrus-sasl)
  50     openssl-devel / libssl-dev (if configuring with --with-tls)
  51     libcurl-devel / libcurl-dev (if configured with --with-oauth)
  52
  53 Test suite package requirements:
  54     ncurses (tput is needed to run test/format/test-curses)
  55
  56 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  57                                    Mac OS X
  58 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  59
  60 If configured with --with-tls on Mac OS 10.7 or later, there will be
  61 compile warnings from mts/smtp/smtp.c about the deprecated OpenSSL
  62 that is supplied with that system.  nmh will build and run with that
  63 OpenSSL, though it may be an old version.  Alternatively, the OpenSSL
  64 source code is available from http://www.openssl.org/source/.  To
  65 build 64-bit libraries, the OpenSSL configure command should start
  66 with, e.g.,
  67     ./Configure darwin64-x86_64-cc
  68
  69 To build nmh with those OpenSSL libraries, the CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS
  70 can be set by adding the following to the nmh configure command line,
  71 or in the shell environment before calling configure or build_nmh:
  72     CPPFLAGS='-D__arch64__ -IOpenSSL-include-path' LDFLAGS=-LOpenSSL-lib-path
  73
  74 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  75                                    FreeBSD
  76 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  77
  78 Additional build-time package requirements:
  79     devel/autotools
  80     ftp/curl (if configured with --with-oauth)
  81
  82 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  83                                     Cygwin
  84 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  85
  86 Run-time package requirements:
  87     file
  88     libncurses10 or libncursesw10
  89     libgdbm4 (only needed for slocal(1))
  90     libiconv or libiconv2 (if you want iconv support)
  91     libreadline7 (if you want readline support)
  92     libsasl2_3 (if configured with --with-cyrus-sasl)
  93     openssl (if configured with --with-tls)
  94     libcurl (if configured with --with-oauth)
  95
  96 Additional build-time package requirements:
  97     libncurses-devel or libncursesw-devel
  98     libgdbm4-devel (only needed for slocal(1))
  99     libiconv-devel (if you want iconv support)
 100     libreadline-devel (if you want readline support)
 101     libsasl2-devel (if configuring with --with-cyrus-sasl)
 102     openssl-devel (if configuring with --with-tls)
 103     libcurl-devel (if configured with --with-oauth)
 104
 105     Older versions of libncurses-devel do not install /usr/include/curses.h,
 106     /usr/include/term.h, and /usr/include/termcap.h.  If yours does not,
 107     either add symlinks in /usr/include/ to those files in its ncurses/
 108     subdirectory, or build with:
 109         make DEFAULT_INCLUDES='-I. -I/usr/include/ncurses'
 110
 111 Test suite package requirements:
 112     ncurses (tput is needed to run test/format/test-curses)
 113
 114 Note that the -link switch to refile cannot be used on FAT32 and other
 115 filesystems that do not support hard links.
 116
 117 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 118                                      HPUX
 119 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 120
 121 Lots of problems have been reported with using HPUX `cc'.  In particular,
 122 problems with `scan' giving incorrect dates (everything is 01/00).  It is
 123 highly recommended that you use `gcc' instead.
 124
 125 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 126                                   Irix (SGI)
 127 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 128
 129 Irix make is notoriously buggy. If you're using it, you should "touch
 130 config.h.in" before configuring to prevent a problem where it tries to rebuild
 131 targets that shouldn't be rebuilt. (Alternately, you can just use GNU make
 132 instead of Irix make.)
 133
 134 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 135                            SunOS 4.1.1/4.1.3/4.1.4
 136 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 137
 138 You can't use the C compiler that comes with SunOS 4 since it isn't ANSI C.
 139 But nmh builds just fine with gcc.
