   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 and Ubuntu distributions)
  11     Mac OS X
  12     OpenBSD
  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 Platform-specific notes follow.

  29 Run-time package requirements:
  30     ncurses-libs
  31     gdbm, db4, or libdb (only needed for slocal(1))
  32     readline (if you want readline support)
  33     cyrus-sasl-lib / libsasl2 (if configured with --with-cyrus-sasl)
  34     openssl-libs / libssl (if configured with --with-tls)
  35
  36 Additional build-time package requirements:
  37     flex
  38     ncurses-devel / libncurses5-devel
  39     gdbm-devel, db4-devel or libdb-devel/libdb-dev (only needed for slocal(1))
  40     readline-devel (if you want readline support)
  41     cyrus-sasl-devel / libsasl2-dev (if configuring with --with-cyrus-sasl)
  42     openssl-devel / libssl-dev (if configuring with --with-tls)
  43
  44 Packages required to regenerate the configure script:
  45     autoconf
  46     automake
  47

  49                                    Mac OS X
  50 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  51
  52 If configured with --with-tls on Mac OS 10.7 or later, there will be
  53 compile warnings from mts/smtp/smtp.c about the deprecated OpenSSL
  54 that is supplied with that system.  nmh will build and run with that
  55 OpenSSL, though it may be an old version.  Alternatively, the OpenSSL
  56 source code is available from http://www.openssl.org/source/.  To
  57 build 64-bit libraries, the OpenSSL configure command should start
  58 with, e.g.,
  59     ./Configure darwin64-x86_64-cc
  60
  61 To build nmh with those OpenSSL libraries, the CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS
  62 can be set by adding the following to the nmh configure command line,
  63 or in the shell environment before calling configure or build_nmh:
  64     CPPFLAGS='-D__arch64__ -IOpenSSL-include-path' LDFLAGS=-LOpenSSL-lib-path
  65
  66 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  67                                     Cygwin
  68 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  69
  70 Run-time package requirements:
  71     file
  72     libncurses10 or libncursesw10
  73     libgdbm4 (only needed for slocal(1))
  74     libiconv or libiconv2 (if you want iconv support)
  75     libreadline7 (if you want readline support)
  76     libsasl2_3 (if configured with --with-cyrus-sasl)
  77     openssl (if configured with --with-tls)
  78
  79 Additional build-time package requirements:
  80     flex
  81     libncurses-devel or libncursesw-devel
  82     libgdbm4-devel (only needed for slocal(1))
  83     libiconv-devel (if you want iconv support)
  84     libreadline-devel (if you want readline support)
  85     libsasl2-devel (if configuring with --with-cyrus-sasl)
  86     openssl-devel (if configuring with --with-tls)
  87
  88     Older versions of libncurses-devel do not install /usr/include/curses.h,
  89     /usr/include/term.h, and /usr/include/termcap.h.  If yours does not,
  90     either add symlinks in /usr/include/ to those files in its ncurses/
  91     subdirectory, or build with:
  92         make DEFAULT_INCLUDES='-I. -I/usr/include/ncurses'
  93
  94 Packages required to regenerate the configure script:
  95     autoconf
  96     automake
  97
  98 When running the nmh test suite ("make check"), it helps to have /usr/bin/
  99 ahead of any Windows directories on your PATH.
 100
 101 Note that the -link switch to refile cannot be used on FAT32 and similar
 102 filesystems.

 104 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 105                                      HPUX
 106 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 107
 108 Lots of problems have been reported with using HPUX `cc'.  In particular,
 109 problems with `scan' giving incorrect dates (everything is 01/00).  It is
 110 highly recommended that you use `gcc' instead.
 111
 112 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 113                                   Irix (SGI)
 114 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 115
 116 Irix make is notoriously buggy. If you're using it, you should "touch
 117 config.h.in" before configuring to prevent a problem where it tries to rebuild
 118 targets that shouldn't be rebuilt. (Alternately, you can just use GNU make
 119 instead of Irix make.)

 121 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 122                            SunOS 4.1.1/4.1.3/4.1.4
 123 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 124
 125 You can't use the C compiler that comes with SunOS 4 since it isn't ANSI C.
 126 But nmh builds just fine with gcc.
