   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 Test suite package requirements:
  51     ncurses (tput is needed to run test/format/test-curses)
  52
  53 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  54                                    Mac OS X
  55 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  56
  57 If configured with --with-tls on Mac OS 10.7 or later, there will be
  58 compile warnings from mts/smtp/smtp.c about the deprecated OpenSSL
  59 that is supplied with that system.  nmh will build and run with that
  60 OpenSSL, though it may be an old version.  Alternatively, the OpenSSL
  61 source code is available from http://www.openssl.org/source/.  To
  62 build 64-bit libraries, the OpenSSL configure command should start
  63 with, e.g.,
  64     ./Configure darwin64-x86_64-cc
  65
  66 To build nmh with those OpenSSL libraries, the CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS
  67 can be set by adding the following to the nmh configure command line,
  68 or in the shell environment before calling configure or build_nmh:
  69     CPPFLAGS='-D__arch64__ -IOpenSSL-include-path' LDFLAGS=-LOpenSSL-lib-path

  72                                    FreeBSD
  73 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  74
  75 Additional build-time package requirements:
  76     devel/autotools
  77
  78 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  79                                     Cygwin
  80 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  81
  82 Run-time package requirements:
  83     file
  84     libncurses10 or libncursesw10
  85     libgdbm4 (only needed for slocal(1))
  86     libiconv or libiconv2 (if you want iconv support)
  87     libreadline7 (if you want readline support)
  88     libsasl2_3 (if configured with --with-cyrus-sasl)
  89     openssl (if configured with --with-tls)
  90
  91 Additional build-time package requirements:
  92     libncurses-devel or libncursesw-devel
  93     libgdbm4-devel (only needed for slocal(1))
  94     libiconv-devel (if you want iconv support)
  95     libreadline-devel (if you want readline support)
  96     libsasl2-devel (if configuring with --with-cyrus-sasl)
  97     openssl-devel (if configuring with --with-tls)
  98
  99     Older versions of libncurses-devel do not install /usr/include/curses.h,
 100     /usr/include/term.h, and /usr/include/termcap.h.  If yours does not,
 101     either add symlinks in /usr/include/ to those files in its ncurses/
 102     subdirectory, or build with:
 103         make DEFAULT_INCLUDES='-I. -I/usr/include/ncurses'
 104
 105 Test suite package requirements:
 106     ncurses (tput is needed to run test/format/test-curses)
 107
 108 Note that the -link switch to refile cannot be used on FAT32 and other
 109 filesystems that do not support hard links.
 110
 111 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 112                                      HPUX
 113 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 114
 115 Lots of problems have been reported with using HPUX `cc'.  In particular,
 116 problems with `scan' giving incorrect dates (everything is 01/00).  It is
 117 highly recommended that you use `gcc' instead.
 118
 119 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 120                                   Irix (SGI)
 121 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 122
 123 Irix make is notoriously buggy. If you're using it, you should "touch
 124 config.h.in" before configuring to prevent a problem where it tries to rebuild
 125 targets that shouldn't be rebuilt. (Alternately, you can just use GNU make
 126 instead of Irix make.)
 127
 128 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 129                            SunOS 4.1.1/4.1.3/4.1.4
 130 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 131
 132 You can't use the C compiler that comes with SunOS 4 since it isn't ANSI C.
 133 But nmh builds just fine with gcc.
