These are the architectures that zsh has been tried on. If you
succeed in getting zsh to work on an architecture not listed, let
us know.
Apple: Mac with MiNT after redefining the zgetwd() function as getwd()
Data General: various AViiONs running DG/UX 5.4R3.10 MU01
Should build `out-of-the-box'.
DEC: Alpha with Ultrix
DECstation with Ultrix
DECstation 5000/25 with Mach 3.0
Alpha with OSF/1 1.2, 1.3 and 2.0
In OSF/1 3.0, there is apparently a bug in the header file
/usr/include/rpcsvc/ypclnt.h; the prototype for yp_all() has a
struct ypall_callback as its final argument, which should be a
pointer (struct ypall_callback *). This prevents compilation
of one of zsh' files (zle_tricky.c). If you can't modify the
header file, copy it to the current directory, modify that
copy, and put a `-I.' argument into CFLAGS in Makefile for
the Src subdirectory when compiling.
The strip comming with gcc-2.7.2 seems to create unusable
binaries. This problem is not related to zsh. If you have such
problems, remove the bogous strip and use /bin/strip instead.
DYNIX/ptx 1.4 and 2.0.4 with X11
HP: HP-UX 9
Should build `out-of-the-box'.
IBM: AIX
Should build `out-of-the-box'.
Linux: If you are using an early minor version of libc 5, then a bug
in the auto-configuration process may cause zsh to think that
your system doesn't support the lstat function. If the
configure process reports that there is no lstat, edit
config.h and change HAVE_LSTAT to 1.
libc-5.2.18 or later does not have this problem.
If you create a symbolic link from /dev/fd to /proc/self/fd, zsh
will use this for process substitution. This link must exist
according to the Linux standards but some distributions come
without it.
NetBSD: NetBSD 1.x
Should build `out-of-the-box'.
Next: NextStep 3.x
Zsh should build easily on NextStep, but the zsh
malloc routines are not recommended.
SCO:
SGI: IRIX 5.1.1.1 and 5.2
Should build `out-of-the-box'.
Sony: NWS with NEWS-OS 3.3
SUN: SunOS 4.1.x
Should build `out-of-the-box'.
Under 4.1.3 if yellow pages is used, username completion
may cause segmentation violaton. This is a bug in the
shared library not in zsh. Some libc.so.1.9.x has this
bug (it fails in yp_all). Statically linked binaries will
work if linked with libc.so.1.8.1 (which means that if
you can get a statically linked binary compiled under 4.1.2
that it will probably work).
An altermative but untested solution may be to undefine
HAVE_NIS in config.h. This may work, but the first username
completion will be _very_ solw (as slow as in tcsh).
Solaris 2.x
The UCB versions of the routines for reading directories are
not usable (the struct definitions are incompatible with the
ones assumed by zsh). The symptom of this is that globbed
filenames in the compiled version of zsh will be missing the
first two letters. To avoid this, make sure you compile zsh
without any reference to /usr/ucblib in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
You can easily do this by just unsetting LD_LIBRARY_PATH
before building zsh.
