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
7All hosts must have a POSIX compatible sh. /bin/sh is assumed unless 
8otherwise set. This can be overridden by setting HOST_SH in the environment.
9
10In addition all hosts must provide the following local tools:
11

14=====
15
16HP-UX:
17
18* zlib must be available.
19  This will be fixed in the future to include zlib in libnbcompat.
20
21=====
22
23LINUX:
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
41MACOS
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
51NETBSD (earlier releases):
52
53* Tested on NetBSD 1.5.2 (machine-independently).
54
55* Should need no special setup.
56
57=====
58
59SOLARIS:
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.
