 nmh is known to compile on the following platforms (save the
 exceptions noted below), using an ANSI C compiler, such as gcc.

-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':
+Cygwin:
 
-    % bash configure
+Be sure to install these Cygwin packages (or later versions):
+  libdb4.8
+  libdb4.8-devel
+  libgdbm-devel
+  libncurses-devel
 
---------------------------------------
-Mac OS X/Rhapsody 5:
+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/.
 
-Version 5.3 at least has the same sh/bash bug as the *BSD systems
-above. This appears to be fixed in 5.5.
+The database packages are only used by slocal(1).
 
-Will not compile correctly unless you configure with the --enable-debug
-option. It appears to find conflicts in the headers only when debugging
-is disabled. With debugging enabled, it compiles and runs happily.
+If configuring with --with-cyrus-sasl, install these Cygwin packages:
+  libsasl2
+  libsasl2-devel
 
---------------------------------------
-Cygwin:
+If configuring with --with-tls, install this Cygwin package (or a
+later version):
+  libgnutls28
 
-Be sure to install Cygwin package libncurses-devel, in the Devel or
-Libs category.  And libncurses10 or later in the Lib category.
+When running the nmh test suite ("make check"), it helps to have
+/usr/bin/ ahead of any Windows directories on your PATH.
 
-Which nmh builds on Cygwin, not all of its programs operate.  If
-you're willing to help fix them, please contact the nmh maintainters
-at nmh-workers@nongnu.org.
+Note that the -link switch to refile cannot be used on FAT32 and
+similar filesystems.
