# 1.21 11-Jul-2021 cjep

Final note on OpenBSD cross-buildling. Remaining issues were due to
default limits on the build host.


# 1.20 04-Jul-2021 cjep

LLVM RT library will actually cross-build from OpenBSD provided sufficient
limits are in place for the build user.

Note OpenBSD cross-build progress

Update notes for testing on linux, OS/X

# 1.11 22-Jun-2004 jmc

Note on NetBSD that _NETBSD_SOURCE should never be defined and it's an error
if it is

# 1.10 29-Dec-2003 jmc

List that all hosts require a posix sh and override with HOST_SH if needed.
Start a list of any other general tools assumed (gzip being the only one
right now).
Note that redhat8 works with no special settings.


# 1.9 17-Nov-2003 dbj

note successful build on Mac OS 10.3 with xcode 1.0 developer tools

# 1.8 29-Sep-2002 lukem

It's "HP-UX" not "HP/UX". (Thanks Giles).


# 1.7 22-Sep-2002 lukem

preliminary HP/UX notes from Giles; it needs zlib.
(as Solaris, Linux and HP/UX all mention they need zlib and it should
be part of libnbcompat, maybe this is a hint for us to get a move on
and do that :)


# 1.6 16-Sep-2002 briggs

Note that RedHat 7.3 hosts successfully as of today with the caveat that
LANG=C must be in the environment.


# 1.5 13-Sep-2002 thorpej

Update Solaris section (again).


# 1.4 13-Sep-2002 thorpej

* Always include the NetBSD glob(3) in libnbcompat, as the host
tools use some features of glob(3) that are not available on
all systems.
* Always include the NetBSD vis(3) in libnbcompat, since vis(3)
is not really standardized, and the vis(3) present on some systems
is different from ours.
* Always include the NetBSD MD2, MD4, MD5, RMD160, and SHA1 implementations
in libnbcompat. The host tools use features of the NetBSD versions
which aren't present on all systems that include those functions.
* Add a check for random(3) -- the Heimdal host tools want it.
* Add a check for termios.h -- the Heimdal host tools want it.
* Update the README to indicate the current state of building the
host tools on Solaris 8 (for SPARC).
