   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.
  31
  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
  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
 102     Older versions of libncurses-devel do not install /usr/include/curses.h,
 103     /usr/include/term.h, and /usr/include/termcap.h.  If yours does not,
 104     either add symlinks in /usr/include/ to those files in its ncurses/
 105     subdirectory, or build with:
 106         make DEFAULT_INCLUDES='-I. -I/usr/include/ncurses'
 107
 108 Test suite package requirements:
 109     ncurses (tput is needed to run test/format/test-curses)
 110
 111 Note that the -link switch to refile cannot be used on FAT32 and other
 112 filesystems that do not support hard links.
 113
 114 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 115                                      HPUX
 116 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 117
 118 Lots of problems have been reported with using HPUX `cc'.  In particular,
 119 problems with `scan' giving incorrect dates (everything is 01/00).  It is
 120 highly recommended that you use `gcc' instead.
 121
 122 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 123                                   Irix (SGI)
 124 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 125
 126 Irix make is notoriously buggy. If you're using it, you should "touch
 127 config.h.in" before configuring to prevent a problem where it tries to rebuild
 128 targets that shouldn't be rebuilt. (Alternately, you can just use GNU make
 129 instead of Irix make.)

 131 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 132                            SunOS 4.1.1/4.1.3/4.1.4
 133 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 134
 135 You can't use the C compiler that comes with SunOS 4 since it isn't ANSI C.
 136 But nmh builds just fine with gcc.
