| 13 | Some BSD4.4 machines have problems when running nmh's configure script. |
|---|
| 14 | They will be unable to find the location of vi and sendmail. This is |
|---|
| 15 | due to POSIX features (breakage?) in the shell sh. The solution is to |
|---|
| 16 | run the configure script under the shell `bash' |
|---|
| 17 | |
|---|
| 18 | bash configure |
|---|

| 22 | HPUX: |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | Lots of problems have been reported with using HPUX `cc'. In particular, |
|---|
| 25 | problems with `scan' giving incorrect dates (everything is 01/00). |
|---|
| 26 | It is highly recommended that you use `gcc' instead. |
|---|
| 27 | |
|---|
| 28 | Also, new versions of HPUX (10.20?) will core dump in `scan' because |
|---|
| 29 | of some workaround code in zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. This workaround is |
|---|
| 30 | needed for older versions of HPUX, but causes problems on newer versions. |
|---|
| 31 | The solution is the added the line |
|---|
| 32 | |
|---|
| 33 | #undef hpux |
|---|
| 34 | |
|---|
| 35 | after line 15 of the file zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. |

| 39 | Irix (SGI): |
|---|
| 40 | |
|---|
| 41 | If you are compiling nmh with POP support, then the configuration |
|---|
| 42 | process will search for (and find) the Irix version of "ruserpass". |
|---|
| 43 | Unfortunately, this version is buggy and causes core dumps. The best |
|---|
| 44 | bet is to use the version that comes with nmh. After running configure, |
|---|
| 45 | edit the Makefile in the "sbr" directory, and add "ruserpass.o" to the |
|---|
| 46 | LIBOBJS line. Then run "make" as normal. |
|---|

| 49 | |
|---|
| 50 | Linux: |
|---|
| 51 | |
|---|
| 52 | Make sure you uncomment the Linux section in the config.h file after |
|---|
| 53 | running configure. |
|---|
| 54 | |
|---|
| 55 | The configuration script does a test to discover the functions |
|---|
| 56 | sigsetjmp/siglongjmp. Since they are macros on Linux, the configuration |
|---|
| 57 | process doesn't find them. After running configure, you should change |
|---|
| 58 | the line in config.h to define HAVE_SIGSETJMP. |
|---|
| 59 | |
|---|
| 60 | For some Linux distributions, the configure script doesn't find the |
|---|
| 61 | ndbm/gdbm library (dbm_open, dbm_close). In this case, you should try to |
|---|
| 62 | configure nmh like this: |
|---|
| 63 | |
|---|
| 64 | LIBS=-lgdbm ./configure [configure options] |
|---|
| 65 | |
|---|
| 66 | The configuration script does a test to discover if your vi is broken |
|---|
| 67 | (if it reports non-zero exit codes on certain pseudo-errors). This test |
|---|
| 68 | will hang if the program `ex' on your system is a link to the vi clone |
|---|
| 69 | `vile'. The workaround is to replace the command ex as a link to another |
|---|
| 70 | vi clone such as nvi or elvis. |

|---|
| 74 | SCO: |
|---|
| 75 | |
|---|
| 76 | Make sure you uncomment the SCO section in the config.h file after |
|---|
| 77 | running configure. |

| 85 | -------------------------------------- |
|---|
| 86 | |
|---|
| 87 | SunOS 4.1.3: |
|---|
| 88 | |
|---|
| 89 | You can't use the C compiler that comes with SunOS 4.1.3 since |
|---|
| 90 | it isn't ANSI C. But nmh builds just fine with gcc. |
|---|
