      1 $NetBSD: README,v 1.6 2002/09/16 18:13:04 briggs Exp $
      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 =====
      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.
