3*c8a0e2f4SThomas VeermanSpecial notes for cross-hosting a NetBSD build on certain platforms.
4*c8a0e2f4SThomas VeermanOnly those platforms which have been tested to complete a "build.sh" run
5*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veermanare listed.
6*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman
7*c8a0e2f4SThomas VeermanAll hosts must have a POSIX compatible sh. /bin/sh is assumed unless
8*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veermanotherwise set. This can be overridden by setting HOST_SH in the environment.
9*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman
10*c8a0e2f4SThomas VeermanIn addition all hosts must provide the following local tools:

15*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman
16*c8a0e2f4SThomas VeermanNetBSD:
17*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman
18*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman* _NETBSD_SOURCE is *not* to be defined/pulled in during compat/tools builds.
19*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman  compat_defs.h will error out if it finds it defined.
20*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman
21*c8a0e2f4SThomas VeermanHP-UX:
22*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman
23*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman* zlib must be available.
24*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman  This will be fixed in the future to include zlib in libnbcompat.
25*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman
26*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman=====
27*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman
28*c8a0e2f4SThomas VeermanLINUX:
29*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman
30*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman* Tested on RedHat Linux 7.1 (i386).
31*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman  Tested on RedHat Linux 7.3 (i686) on 16 Sep 2002.  Requires "LANG=C"
32*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman  in the environment.
33*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman
34*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman* Tested on Redhat Linux 8.0 (i686) in Fall 2003. Requires no special settings.
35*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman
36*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman* Tested on Redhat ES3 and AS3 in spring of 2004. Requires no special settings.
37*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman
38*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman* The gcc (and libstdc++, if needed) package must be installed, along
39*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman  with the typical system development packages (glibc-devel, etc.).
40*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman
41*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman* The ncurses-devel package must be installed (for nbinfo).
42*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman
43*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman* The zlib and zlib-devel packages must be installed.  This will be
44*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman  fixed in the future to include zlib in libnbcompat.
45*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman
46*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman=====
47*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman
48*c8a0e2f4SThomas VeermanMACOS
49*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman  Requires a case sensitive filesystem such as UFS
50*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman
51*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman* Tested on 10.2.8 with Dec 2002 Developer Tools
52*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman    - may require a fix to /usr/bin/join, netbsd's join should work fine
53*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman* Tested on 10.3 with xcode 1.5
54*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman    - compiles fine out of the box
55*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman
56*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman=====
57*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman
58*c8a0e2f4SThomas VeermanNETBSD (earlier releases):
59*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman
60*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman* Tested on NetBSD 1.5.2 (machine-independently).
61*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman
62*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman* Should need no special setup.
63*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman
64*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman=====
65*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman
66*c8a0e2f4SThomas VeermanSOLARIS:
67*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman
68*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman* Tested on Solaris/x86 8 (5.8) with gcc 2.95.2 and Solaris/sparc 8 (5.8)
69*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman  with gcc 3.2 (not yet tested with SUNWspro).
70*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman
71*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman* $HOST_CC needs to be set properly (for gcc, it should be set to "gcc",
72*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman  otherwise the improper /usr/ucb/cc may be invoked by accident).
73*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman
74*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman* The SUNWzlib package (or a built version of zlib visible to $HOST_CC,
75*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman  such as SMCzlib from sunfreeware.com) must be installed.  This will be
76*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman  fixed in the future to include zlib in libnbcompat.
77*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman
78*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman* Needs the following paths, in this order, in $PATH:
79*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman
80*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman      /usr/xpg4/bin
81*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman      /usr/ccs/bin
82*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman      <path to host C and C++ compilers>
83*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman      /usr/bin
84*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman
85*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman  /usr/ucb may optionally be placed before /usr/bin, per your preference,
86*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman  but /usr/ucb *MUST NOT* be before /usr/ccs/bin or before the path to
87*c8a0e2f4SThomas Veerman  the host C and C++ compilers.
