nmh is routinely built and tested on recent versions of the following
platforms:
Cygwin (32- and 64-bit)
- FreeBSD 9
FreeBSD 10
- Linux (Fedora and Ubuntu distributions)
- Mac OS X
+ Linux (Fedora, Ubuntu, and CentOS distributions)
+ macOS
OpenBSD
- Solaris 11
nmh was known in the distant past to compile on the following platforms (save
the exceptions noted below), using an ANSI C compiler, such as gcc:
AIX 4.1.5.0.01
+ FreeBSD 9
IRIX 6.5
NetBSD 1.4.2
- Solaris 7 and 8 (sparc,x86)
+ Solaris 7, 8, and 11 (sparc,x86)
SunOS 4.1
+On all platforms, the following programs are required to build nmh from a
+snapshot of the source code repository:
+ autoconf 2.68 or later
+ automake 1.12 or later
+ flex 2.5.4 or later
+ bison 2.3 or later, Berkeley yacc 1.9 or later, or Solaris yacc 4.0
+They are not required if building from an nmh distribution (.tar.gz) file.
+
Platform-specific notes follow.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Run-time package requirements:
ncurses-libs
- libdb (only needed for slocal(1))
+ gdbm, db4, or libdb (only needed for slocal(1))
readline (if you want readline support)
cyrus-sasl-lib / libsasl2 (if configured with --with-cyrus-sasl)
openssl-libs / libssl (if configured with --with-tls)
+ libcurl (if configured with --with-oauth)
Additional build-time package requirements:
- flex
ncurses-devel / libncurses5-devel
- libdb-devel / libdb-dev (only needed for slocal(1))
+ gdbm-devel, db4-devel or libdb-devel/libdb-dev (only needed for slocal(1))
readline-devel (if you want readline support)
cyrus-sasl-devel / libsasl2-dev (if configuring with --with-cyrus-sasl)
openssl-devel / libssl-dev (if configuring with --with-tls)
+ libcurl-devel / libcurl-dev (if configured with --with-oauth)
-Packages required to regenerate the configure script:
- autoconf
- automake
+Test suite package requirements:
+ ncurses (tput is needed to run test/format/test-curses)
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Mac OS X
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+If configured with --with-tls on Mac OS 10.7 or later, there will be
+compile warnings from mts/smtp/smtp.c about the deprecated OpenSSL
+that is supplied with that system. nmh will build and run with that
+OpenSSL, though it may be an old version. Alternatively, the OpenSSL
+source code is available from http://www.openssl.org/source/. To
+build 64-bit libraries, the OpenSSL configure command should start
+with, e.g.,
+ ./Configure darwin64-x86_64-cc
+
+To build nmh with those OpenSSL libraries, the CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS
+can be set by adding the following to the nmh configure command line,
+or in the shell environment before calling configure or build_nmh:
+ CPPFLAGS='-D__arch64__ -IOpenSSL-include-path' LDFLAGS=-LOpenSSL-lib-path
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ FreeBSD
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Additional build-time package requirements:
+ devel/autotools
+ ftp/curl (if configured with --with-oauth)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cygwin
libreadline7 (if you want readline support)
libsasl2_3 (if configured with --with-cyrus-sasl)
openssl (if configured with --with-tls)
+ libcurl (if configured with --with-oauth)
Additional build-time package requirements:
- flex
libncurses-devel or libncursesw-devel
libgdbm4-devel (only needed for slocal(1))
libiconv-devel (if you want iconv support)
libreadline-devel (if you want readline support)
libsasl2-devel (if configuring with --with-cyrus-sasl)
openssl-devel (if configuring with --with-tls)
+ libcurl-devel (if configured with --with-oauth)
Older versions of libncurses-devel do not install /usr/include/curses.h,
/usr/include/term.h, and /usr/include/termcap.h. If yours does not,
subdirectory, or build with:
make DEFAULT_INCLUDES='-I. -I/usr/include/ncurses'
-Packages required to regenerate the configure script:
- autoconf
- automake
-
-When running the nmh test suite ("make check"), it helps to have /usr/bin/
-ahead of any Windows directories on your PATH.
+Test suite package requirements:
+ ncurses (tput is needed to run test/format/test-curses)
-Note that the -link switch to refile cannot be used on FAT32 and similar
-filesystems.
+Note that the -link switch to refile cannot be used on FAT32 and other
+filesystems that do not support hard links.
