+nmh is known 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
+Cygwin (setup version 2.831, other versions may be fine)
+FreeBSD
+IRIX 6.5
+Linux 2.2 to current (glibc 2.1 to current)
+Mac OS X
+NetBSD 1.4.2
+OpenBSD
+Solaris 7 and 8 (sparc,x86)
+SunOS 4.1

+Be sure to install these Cygwin packages (or later versions):

+  libdb4.8-devel
+  libgdbm-devel
+  libncurses-devel

 
 

-Some BSD4.4 machines have problems when running nmh's configure script.
-They will be unable to find the location of vi and sendmail.  This is
-due to POSIX features (breakage?) in the shell sh.  The solution is to
-run the configure script under the shell `bash'
+Some versions of libncurses-devel do not install /usr/include/curses.h,
+/usr/include/term.h, and /usr/include/termcap.h.  If yours does not,
+add /usr/include/ symlinks to those files in /usr/include/ncurses/.

 
 

-bash configure
+The database packages are only used by slocal(1).

-Mac OS X/Rhapsody 5:

+  libsasl2
+  libsasl2-devel

 
 

-Version 5.3 at least has the same sh/bash bug as the *BSD systems
-above. This appears to be fixed in 5.5.
+If configuring with --with-tls, install this Cygwin package (or a
+later version):
+  libgnutls28

 
 

-Will not compile correctly unless you configure with the --enable-nmh-debug
-option. It appears to find conflicts in the headers only when debugging
-is disabled. With debugging enabled, it compiles and runs happily.
+When running the nmh test suite ("make check"), it helps to have
+/usr/bin/ ahead of any Windows directories on your PATH.

 
 

---------------------------------------
+Note that the -link switch to refile cannot be used on FAT32 and
+similar filesystems.
