      2      1.1  tv 
      3      1.1  tv Special notes for cross-hosting a NetBSD build on certain platforms.  
      4      1.1  tv Only those platforms which have been tested to complete a "build.sh" run
      5      1.1  tv are listed.
      6      1.1  tv 
      7      1.1  tv =====
      8      1.1  tv 
      9      1.1  tv LINUX:
     10      1.1  tv 
     11      1.1  tv * Tested on RedHat Linux 7.1 (i386).
     12      1.1  tv 
     13      1.1  tv * The gcc (and libstdc++, if needed) package must be installed, along
     14      1.1  tv   with the typical system development packages (glibc-devel, etc.).
     15      1.1  tv 
     16      1.1  tv * The ncurses-devel package must be installed (for nbinfo).
     17      1.1  tv 
     18      1.1  tv * The zlib and zlib-devel packages must be installed.  This will be
     19      1.1  tv   fixed in the future to include zlib in libnbcompat.
     20      1.1  tv 
     21      1.1  tv =====
     22      1.1  tv 
     23      1.1  tv NETBSD (earlier releases):
     24      1.1  tv 
     25      1.1  tv * Tested on NetBSD 1.5.2 (machine-independently).
     26      1.1  tv 
     27      1.1  tv * Should need no special setup.
     28      1.1  tv 
     29      1.1  tv =====
     30      1.1  tv 
     31      1.1  tv SOLARIS:
     32      1.1  tv 
     33  1.3.2.1  he * Tested on Solaris/x86 8 (5.8) with gcc 2.95.2 and Solaris/sparc 8 (5.8)
     34  1.3.2.1  he   with gcc 3.2 (not yet tested with SUNWspro).
     35      1.1  tv 
     36      1.1  tv * $HOST_CC needs to be set properly (for gcc, it should be set to "gcc",
     37      1.1  tv   otherwise the improper /usr/ucb/cc may be invoked by accident).
     38      1.1  tv 
     39  1.3.2.1  he * The SUNWzlib package (or a built version of zlib visible to $HOST_CC,
     40  1.3.2.1  he   such as SMCzlib from sunfreeware.com) must be installed.  This will be
     41  1.3.2.1  he   fixed in the future to include zlib in libnbcompat.
     42      1.1  tv 
     43      1.1  tv * Needs the following paths, in this order, in $PATH:
     44      1.1  tv 
     45  1.3.2.1  he       /usr/ccs/bin
     46  1.3.2.1  he       <path to host C and C++ compilers>
     47  1.3.2.1  he       /usr/bin
     48  1.3.2.1  he 
     49  1.3.2.1  he   /usr/ucb may optionally be placed before /usr/bin, per your preference,
     50  1.3.2.1  he   but /usr/ucb *MUST NOT* be before /usr/ccs/bin or before the path to
     51  1.3.2.1  he   the host C and C++ compilers.
     52  1.3.2.1  he 
     53  1.3.2.1  he   Also note that /usr/xpg4/bin *MUST NOT* be in the path before /usr/bin.
     54  1.3.2.1  he   /usr/xpg4/bin/sh is a symbolic link to /usr/bin/ksh, which has different
     55  1.3.2.1  he   semantics for "pwd" than /usr/bin/sh.  Since nbmake uses /bin/sh (which
     56  1.3.2.1  he   is a symbolic link to /usr/bin/sh), the different semantics break obj
     57  1.3.2.1  he   directories in the presence of symbolic links, especially if using NFS.
