      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 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 MACOS
     33   Probably requires a case sensitive filesystem such as UFS
     34 
     35 * Tested on 10.2.8 with Dec 2002 Developer Tools
     36     - may require a fix to /usr/bin/join, netbsd's join should work fine
     37 * Tested on 10.3 with xcode 1.0
     38     - compiles fine out of the box
     39 
     40 =====
     41 
     42 NETBSD (earlier releases):
     43 
     44 * Tested on NetBSD 1.5.2 (machine-independently).
     45 
     46 * Should need no special setup.
     47 
     48 =====
     49 
     50 SOLARIS:
     51 
     52 * Tested on Solaris/x86 8 (5.8) with gcc 2.95.2 and Solaris/sparc 8 (5.8)
     53   with gcc 3.2 (not yet tested with SUNWspro).
     54 
     55 * $HOST_CC needs to be set properly (for gcc, it should be set to "gcc",
     56   otherwise the improper /usr/ucb/cc may be invoked by accident).
     57 
     58 * The SUNWzlib package (or a built version of zlib visible to $HOST_CC,
     59   such as SMCzlib from sunfreeware.com) must be installed.  This will be
     60   fixed in the future to include zlib in libnbcompat.
     61 
     62 * Needs the following paths, in this order, in $PATH:
     63 
     64       /usr/xpg4/bin
     65       /usr/ccs/bin
     66       <path to host C and C++ compilers>
     67       /usr/bin
     68 
     69   /usr/ucb may optionally be placed before /usr/bin, per your preference,
     70   but /usr/ucb *MUST NOT* be before /usr/ccs/bin or before the path to
     71   the host C and C++ compilers.
