nmh is routinely built and tested on recent versions of the following
platforms:
Cygwin (32- and 64-bit)
- FreeBSD 9
FreeBSD 10
Linux (Fedora, Ubuntu, and CentOS distributions)
- Mac OS X 10.9
- OpenBSD 5.4
- Solaris 11
+ macOS
+ OpenBSD
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
- automake
- flex
+ 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.
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:
ncurses-devel / libncurses5-devel
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)
+
+Test suite package requirements:
+ ncurses (tput is needed to run test/format/test-curses)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mac OS X
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:
libncurses-devel or libncursesw-devel
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'
-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 other
filesystems that do not support hard links.
