- To make nntp run on SYSV, do the following:
-
- 1. Get the Berkeley Directory Library emulation package. You can get it
- from your nearest comp.sources.unix archive. This is the so-called NDIR
- package. Install it. (If you don't know if you have it, look for the
- file ndir.h in /usr/include. If it is there, you have the NDIR library
- and can move on the step 2.)
-
- 2. Edit common/conf.h. Make sure you define USG and look at all the
- other stuff in there to be sure you have defined all the other things
- you need. (You will most likely need to define U_LONG, ALONE, vfork,
- and FAKESYSLOG. You will most likely need to undefine FASTFORK, BSD_42,
- DBM, SUBNET, NETMASK, DAMAGED_NETMASK, and DECNET.) You will probably need to
- undefine SYSLOG if you don't define FAKESYSLOG.
-
- 3. Edit server/Makefile. Make sure to add -lndir to the LIBS line.
- If you have EXCELAN, you will probably need to add a -lsocket here as
- well. If the networking include files are not in the "standard location"
- (i.e. /usr/include), be sure to add -Ilocation_of_the_network_include_files
- to the CFLAGS line.
-
- 4. Now, you can cd to the server directory and type make.
-
- If you have problems, send mail to sob@tmc.edu and he will help if he
- can.
