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 =====
8
9 LINUX:
10
11 * Tested on RedHat Linux 7.1 (i386).
12 Tested on RedHat Linux 7.3 (i686) on 16 Sep 2002. Requires "LANG=C"
13 in the environment.
14
15 * The gcc (and libstdc++, if needed) package must be installed, along
16 with the typical system development packages (glibc-devel, etc.).
17
18 * The ncurses-devel package must be installed (for nbinfo).
19
20 * The zlib and zlib-devel packages must be installed. This will be
21 fixed in the future to include zlib in libnbcompat.
22
23 =====
24
25 NETBSD (earlier releases):
26
27 * Tested on NetBSD 1.5.2 (machine-independently).
28
29 * Should need no special setup.
30
31 =====
32
33 SOLARIS:
34
35 * Tested on Solaris/x86 8 (5.8) with gcc 2.95.2 and Solaris/sparc 8 (5.8)
36 with gcc 3.2 (not yet tested with SUNWspro).
37
38 * $HOST_CC needs to be set properly (for gcc, it should be set to "gcc",
39 otherwise the improper /usr/ucb/cc may be invoked by accident).
40
41 * The SUNWzlib package (or a built version of zlib visible to $HOST_CC,
42 such as SMCzlib from sunfreeware.com) must be installed. This will be
43 fixed in the future to include zlib in libnbcompat.
44
45 * Needs the following paths, in this order, in $PATH:
46
47 /usr/xpg4/bin
48 /usr/ccs/bin
49 <path to host C and C++ compilers>
50 /usr/bin
51
52 /usr/ucb may optionally be placed before /usr/bin, per your preference,
53 but /usr/ucb *MUST NOT* be before /usr/ccs/bin or before the path to
54 the host C and C++ compilers.
