      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 HP/UX:
     10 
     11 * zlib must be available.
     12   This will be fixed in the future to include zlib in libnbcompat.
     13 
     14 =====
     15 
     16 LINUX:
     17 
     18 * Tested on RedHat Linux 7.1 (i386).
     19   Tested on RedHat Linux 7.3 (i686) on 16 Sep 2002.  Requires "LANG=C"
     20   in the environment.
     21 
     22 * The gcc (and libstdc++, if needed) package must be installed, along
     23   with the typical system development packages (glibc-devel, etc.).
     24 
     25 * The ncurses-devel package must be installed (for nbinfo).
     26 
     27 * The zlib and zlib-devel packages must be installed.  This will be
     28   fixed in the future to include zlib in libnbcompat.
     29 
     30 =====
     31 
     32 NETBSD (earlier releases):
     33 
     34 * Tested on NetBSD 1.5.2 (machine-independently).
     35 
     36 * Should need no special setup.
     37 
     38 =====
     39 
     40 SOLARIS:
     41 
     42 * Tested on Solaris/x86 8 (5.8) with gcc 2.95.2 and Solaris/sparc 8 (5.8)
     43   with gcc 3.2 (not yet tested with SUNWspro).
     44 
     45 * $HOST_CC needs to be set properly (for gcc, it should be set to "gcc",
     46   otherwise the improper /usr/ucb/cc may be invoked by accident).
     47 
     48 * The SUNWzlib package (or a built version of zlib visible to $HOST_CC,
     49   such as SMCzlib from sunfreeware.com) must be installed.  This will be
     50   fixed in the future to include zlib in libnbcompat.
     51 
     52 * Needs the following paths, in this order, in $PATH:
     53 
     54       /usr/xpg4/bin
     55       /usr/ccs/bin
     56       <path to host C and C++ compilers>
     57       /usr/bin
     58 
     59   /usr/ucb may optionally be placed before /usr/bin, per your preference,
     60   but /usr/ucb *MUST NOT* be before /usr/ccs/bin or before the path to
     61   the host C and C++ compilers.
