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
16NetBSD:
17
18* _NETBSD_SOURCE is *not* to be defined/pulled in during compat/tools builds.
19  compat_defs.h will error out if it finds it defined. 
20
21HP-UX:
22
23* zlib must be available.
24  This will be fixed in the future to include zlib in libnbcompat.
25
26=====
27
28LINUX:
29
30* Tested on RedHat Linux 7.1 (i386).
31  Tested on RedHat Linux 7.3 (i686) on 16 Sep 2002.  Requires "LANG=C"
32  in the environment.
33
34* Tested on Redhat Linux 8.0 (i686) in Fall 2003. Requires no special settings.
35
36* The gcc (and libstdc++, if needed) package must be installed, along
37  with the typical system development packages (glibc-devel, etc.).
38
39* The ncurses-devel package must be installed (for nbinfo).
40
41* The zlib and zlib-devel packages must be installed.  This will be
42  fixed in the future to include zlib in libnbcompat.
43
44=====
45
46MACOS
47  Probably requires a case sensitive filesystem such as UFS
48
49* Tested on 10.2.8 with Dec 2002 Developer Tools
50    - may require a fix to /usr/bin/join, netbsd's join should work fine
51* Tested on 10.3 with xcode 1.0
52    - compiles fine out of the box
53
54=====
55
56NETBSD (earlier releases):
57
58* Tested on NetBSD 1.5.2 (machine-independently).
59
60* Should need no special setup.
61
62=====
63
64SOLARIS:
65
66* Tested on Solaris/x86 8 (5.8) with gcc 2.95.2 and Solaris/sparc 8 (5.8)
67  with gcc 3.2 (not yet tested with SUNWspro).
68
69* $HOST_CC needs to be set properly (for gcc, it should be set to "gcc",
70  otherwise the improper /usr/ucb/cc may be invoked by accident).
71
72* The SUNWzlib package (or a built version of zlib visible to $HOST_CC,
73  such as SMCzlib from sunfreeware.com) must be installed.  This will be
74  fixed in the future to include zlib in libnbcompat.
75
76* Needs the following paths, in this order, in $PATH:
77
78      /usr/xpg4/bin
79      /usr/ccs/bin
80      <path to host C and C++ compilers>
81      /usr/bin
82
83  /usr/ucb may optionally be placed before /usr/bin, per your preference,
84  but /usr/ucb *MUST NOT* be before /usr/ccs/bin or before the path to
85  the host C and C++ compilers.
