Special notes for cross-hosting a NetBSD build on certain platforms.
Only those platforms which have been tested to complete a "build.sh" run
@ -8,62 +8,57 @@ All hosts must have a POSIX compatible sh. /bin/sh is assumed unless
otherwise set. This can be overridden by setting HOST_SH in the environment.
In addition all hosts must provide the following local tools:
gzip
gcc
g++
zlib and headers (this requirement may be dropped in future)
gzip
FreeBSD
=======
build.sh was recently tested on FreeBSD 13 with the compiler tools installed.
Linux
=====
NetBSD:
build.sh has been tested on:
* Amazon Linux 2 (x86)
* Debian 10 (x86)
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 (x86)
* SUSE Enterprise Server 15 (x86)
* Ubuntu Server 20.04 (x86)
* _NETBSD_SOURCE is *not* to be defined/pulled in during compat/tools builds.
compat_defs.h will error out if it finds it defined.
HP-UX:
* zlib must be available.
This will be fixed in the future to include zlib in libnbcompat.
=====
LINUX:
* Tested on RedHat Linux 7.1 (i386).
Tested on RedHat Linux 7.3 (i686) on 16 Sep 2002. Requires "LANG=C"
in the environment.
* Tested on Redhat Linux 8.0 (i686) in Fall 2003. Requires no special settings.
* Tested on Redhat ES3 and AS3 in spring of 2004. Requires no special settings.
* The gcc (and libstdc++, if needed) package must be installed, along
with the typical system development packages (glibc-devel, etc.).
* The gcc and g++ package must be installed, along with the typical system
development packages (glibc-devel, etc.). The g++ package is sometimes
called gcc-c++.
* The ncurses-devel package must be installed (for nbinfo).
* The zlib and zlib-devel packages must be installed. This will be
fixed in the future to include zlib in libnbcompat.
* The zlib and zlib-devel packages must be installed (these are
called zlib1g and zlib1g-dev on Debian and Ubuntu Linux)
macOS/Darwin
============
build.sh was recently tested on macOS Big Sur with an APFS filesystem
and the Xcode command line tools. (Previously, there have been issues
building on case-insensitive HFS filesystems.)
HP-UX
=====
MACOS
Requires a case sensitive filesystem such as UFS
* zlib must be available.
* Tested on 10.2.8 with Dec 2002 Developer Tools
- may require a fix to /usr/bin/join, netbsd's join should work fine
* Tested on 10.3 with xcode 1.5
- compiles fine out of the box
=====
NETBSD (earlier releases):
NetBSD (earlier releases)
=========================
* Tested on NetBSD 1.5.2 (machine-independently).
* Should need no special setup.
* _NETBSD_SOURCE is *not* to be defined/pulled in during compat/tools builds.
compat_defs.h will error out if it finds it defined.
