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
+ Linux (Arch, CentOS, Fedora, and Ubuntu distributions)
+ 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.

+If configured with --with-tls on Mac OS X 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
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,
filesystems that do not support hard links.

problems with `scan' giving incorrect dates (everything is 01/00). It is
highly recommended that you use `gcc' instead.
