      2 
      3 Special notes for cross-hosting a NetBSD build on certain platforms.  
      4 Only those platforms which have been tested to complete a "build.sh" run
      5 are listed.
      6 
      7 All hosts must have a POSIX compatible sh. /bin/sh is assumed unless 
      8 otherwise set. This can be overridden by setting HOST_SH in the environment.
      9 
     10 In addition all hosts must provide the following local tools:
     11 
     12 gzip
     13 
     14 =====
     15 
     16 HP-UX:
     17 
     18 * zlib must be available.
     19   This will be fixed in the future to include zlib in libnbcompat.
     20 
     21 =====
     22 
     23 LINUX:
     24 
     25 * Tested on RedHat Linux 7.1 (i386).
     26   Tested on RedHat Linux 7.3 (i686) on 16 Sep 2002.  Requires "LANG=C"
     27   in the environment.
     28 
     29 * Tested on Redhat Linux 8.0 (i686) in Fall 2003. Requires no special settings.
     30 
     31 * The gcc (and libstdc++, if needed) package must be installed, along
     32   with the typical system development packages (glibc-devel, etc.).
     33 
     34 * The ncurses-devel package must be installed (for nbinfo).
     35 
     36 * The zlib and zlib-devel packages must be installed.  This will be
     37   fixed in the future to include zlib in libnbcompat.
     38 
     39 =====
     40 
     41 MACOS
     42   Probably requires a case sensitive filesystem such as UFS
     43 
     44 * Tested on 10.2.8 with Dec 2002 Developer Tools
     45     - may require a fix to /usr/bin/join, netbsd's join should work fine
     46 * Tested on 10.3 with xcode 1.0
     47     - compiles fine out of the box
     48 
     49 =====
     50 
     51 NETBSD (earlier releases):
     52 
     53 * Tested on NetBSD 1.5.2 (machine-independently).
     54 
     55 * Should need no special setup.
     56 
     57 =====
     58 
     59 SOLARIS:
     60 
     61 * Tested on Solaris/x86 8 (5.8) with gcc 2.95.2 and Solaris/sparc 8 (5.8)
     62   with gcc 3.2 (not yet tested with SUNWspro).
     63 
     64 * $HOST_CC needs to be set properly (for gcc, it should be set to "gcc",
     65   otherwise the improper /usr/ucb/cc may be invoked by accident).
     66 
     67 * The SUNWzlib package (or a built version of zlib visible to $HOST_CC,
     68   such as SMCzlib from sunfreeware.com) must be installed.  This will be
     69   fixed in the future to include zlib in libnbcompat.
     70 
     71 * Needs the following paths, in this order, in $PATH:
     72 
     73       /usr/xpg4/bin
     74       /usr/ccs/bin
     75       <path to host C and C++ compilers>
     76       /usr/bin
     77 
     78   /usr/ucb may optionally be placed before /usr/bin, per your preference,
     79   but /usr/ucb *MUST NOT* be before /usr/ccs/bin or before the path to
     80   the host C and C++ compilers.
