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.

7=====

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=====
22
23NETBSD (earlier releases):
24
25* Tested on NetBSD 1.5.2 (machine-independently).
26
27* Should need no special setup.
28
29=====

31SOLARIS:
32
33* Tested on Solaris/x86 8 (5.8) with gcc 2.95.2 (not yet tested with
34  SUNWspro).
35
36* $HOST_CC needs to be set properly (for gcc, it should be set to "gcc",
37  otherwise the improper /usr/ucb/cc may be invoked by accident).
38
39* The SUNWxcu4 package (containing /usr/xpg4/bin/*) must be installed.
40
41* The SUNWzlib package (or a built version of zlib visible to $HOST_CC)
42  must be installed.  This will be fixed in the future to include zlib
43  in libnbcompat.
44
45* Needs the following paths, in this order, in $PATH:
46
47      /usr/xpg4/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/bin
48
49  (/usr/ucb may optionally be placed before /usr/bin per your preference,
50  but /usr/ucb *MUST NOT* be before /usr/ccs/bin or /usr/xpg4/bin!)
51
52* /bin/sh *MUST* be replaced with a copy of, or symlink to, either
53  /bin/ksh or /usr/xpg4/bin/sh.  This will be fixed in the future to use
54  /usr/xpg4/bin/sh in nbmake by default.  (Solaris's /bin/sh is broken
55  in some fantastic and amazing ways.)
56
57* Needs the "mktemp" script from src/tools/compat/scripts, made
58  executable, available somewhere in $PATH.  (Solaris has no
59  command-line mktemp(1).)  This may be worked around in the future.
