3Special notes for cross-hosting a NetBSD build on certain platforms.  
4Only those platforms which have been tested to complete a "build.sh" run
5are listed.
6
7=====
8
9LINUX:
10
11* Tested on RedHat Linux 7.1 (i386).
12
13* The gcc (and libstdc++, if needed) package must be installed, along
14  with the typical system development packages (glibc-devel, etc.).
15
16* The ncurses-devel package must be installed (for nbinfo).
17
18* The zlib and zlib-devel packages must be installed.  This will be
19  fixed in the future to include zlib in libnbcompat.
20
21* src/tools/dbsym will not build on this platform yet.  NO_DBSYM=1 may be set in
22  mk.conf or the environment to cause this to be skipped during the build
23  (harmless to non-embedded platforms).
24
25=====
26
27NETBSD (earlier releases):
28
29* Tested on NetBSD 1.5.2 (machine-independently).
30
31* Should need no special setup.
32
33=====
34
35SOLARIS:
36
37* Tested on Solaris/x86 8 (5.8) with gcc 2.95.2 (not yet tested with
38  SUNWspro).
39
40* $HOST_CC needs to be set properly (for gcc, it should be set to "gcc",
41  otherwise the improper /usr/ucb/cc may be invoked by accident).
42
43* The SUNWxcu4 package (containing /usr/xpg4/bin/*) must be installed.
44
45* The SUNWzlib package (or a built version of zlib visible to $HOST_CC)
46  must be installed.  This will be fixed in the future to include zlib
47  in libnbcompat.
48
49* Needs the following paths, in this order, in $PATH:
50
51      /usr/xpg4/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/bin
52
53  (/usr/ucb may optionally be placed before /usr/bin per your preference,
54  but /usr/ucb *MUST NOT* be before /usr/ccs/bin or /usr/xpg4/bin!)
55
56* /bin/sh *MUST* be replaced with a copy of, or symlink to, either
57  /bin/ksh or /usr/xpg4/bin/sh.  This will be fixed in the future to use
58  /usr/xpg4/bin/sh in nbmake by default.  (Solaris's /bin/sh is broken
59  in some fantastic and amazing ways.)
60
61* Needs the "mktemp" script from src/tools/compat/scripts, made
62  executable, available somewhere in $PATH.  (Solaris has no
63  command-line mktemp(1).)  This may be worked around in the future.
64
65* src/tools/dbsym will not build on this platform yet.  NO_DBSYM=1 may be set in
66  mk.conf or the environment to cause this to be skipped during the build
67  (harmless to non-embedded platforms).
