   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.

  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
  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
  51 Test suite package requirements:
  52     ncurses (tput is needed to run test/format/test-curses)
  53

  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

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

 129 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 130                            SunOS 4.1.1/4.1.3/4.1.4
 131 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 132
 133 You can't use the C compiler that comes with SunOS 4 since it isn't ANSI C.
 134 But nmh builds just fine with gcc.
