ZSH ON SPECIFIC ARCHITECTURES
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
These are the OSes that zsh has been tried on. If you succeed in getting
|
|
zsh to work on an OS not listed, let us know.
|
|
|
|
On all machines if you use gcc and upgrade your OS you must rebuild gcc
|
|
after the OS upgrade. A gcc left from a previous OS may seem to work
|
|
but compiling more complex programs may fail mysteriously.
|
|
|
|
The format of entries is thus:
|
|
|
|
Vendor: OS & version (hardware type) [zsh version tried]
|
|
information
|
|
|
|
Machines
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Apple/NeXT OpenStep 4.2 for i386.
|
|
Reported to work at least with gcc 2.8.1 and gawk 2.15 patchlevel
|
|
6, but not with the bundled cc 2.7.2.1 and awk.
|
|
|
|
Cray: Unicos (C90 and T90)
|
|
Should build `out-of-the-box'.
|
|
|
|
Cygnus Solutions: Cygwin on Intel
|
|
Should build `out-of-the-box'. The compilation directory should
|
|
be on a file system mounted as binary (the mount command shows
|
|
`binmode').
|
|
|
|
Dynamic loading does not work (this is automatically detected),
|
|
though libraries not compiled by default will work (see the file
|
|
INSTALL for how to add these to the base executable). In
|
|
particular zsh/zftp and zsh/mathfunc are known to work.
|
|
|
|
Some of the tests in the Test subdirectory are known to fail:
|
|
this is because the UNIX environment is not completely implemented.
|
|
|
|
Data General: DG/UX 5.4R3.10 MU01 (various AViiONs)
|
|
Should build `out-of-the-box'.
|
|
|
|
DEC: Ultrix (Alpha or DECstation)
|
|
DEC: Mach 3.0 (DECstation 5000/25)
|
|
DEC: OSF/1 1.2, 1.3, 2.0, 3.*, DEC Unix 4.* (Alpha)
|
|
In OSF/1 3.x, 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, create a directory called `rpcsvc' in zsh's Src subdirectory
|
|
and put a fixed version of the header file to it before compiling.
|
|
|
|
The strip coming with gcc-2.7.2 seems to create unusable binaries.
|
|
This problem is not related to zsh. If you have such problems,
|
|
remove the bogus strip and use /bin/strip instead.
|
|
|
|
On Digital UNIX 4.0, compilation with gcc and with --enable-dynamic
|
|
apparently needs configuring with explicit flags when compiling
|
|
with debugging enabled:
|
|
DLLD=gcc LDFLAGS='-g -rpath <path-to-.so-files>' ./configure ...
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD: FreeBSD 2.2.7, 3.x, 4.x
|
|
Should build `out-of-the-box'. On FreeBSD 2.2, dynamic loading
|
|
does not work, but it does with 3.x and 4.x.
|
|
|
|
HP: HP-UX 9, 10.20, 11.0
|
|
Should build `out-of-the-box'.
|
|
|
|
Problems with dynamic loading have been reported under 11, but
|
|
this should compile using the standard dlopen() function set
|
|
(rather than the 10.20 shl_load() function set). More details of
|
|
any difficulties would be appreciated.
|
|
|
|
IBM: AIX 3.2, 4.1
|
|
Should build `out-of-the-box', but --enable-zsh-mem will not work.
|
|
|
|
On 3.2, for 64-bit integer support you need to compile with gcc, as
|
|
the native compiler does not support ANSI simultaneously with
|
|
`long long'. On 4.1, there appear to be problems using
|
|
--enable-dynamic (the default) with gcc (version was 2.7.2.3) in
|
|
4.1, though native cc works. More information about this problem
|
|
would be appreciated.
|
|
|
|
Linux: Linux (i[345]86,various Pentia,AMD K6/2)
|
|
Should build `out-of-the-box'.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Various problems have been reported when using optimisation
|
|
with the experimental GNU compiler, egcs. In particular,
|
|
on Linux Alpha with egcs 1.0.3a and 1.1.1 using -O1 or greater,
|
|
the completion code is not correctly compiled.
|
|
|
|
Some versions of glibc2 have a conflict with <asm/resource.h>
|
|
which causes a redefinition warning on RLIM_INFINITY. This
|
|
causes configure to decide that <sys/resource.h> is not present,
|
|
which can cause compilation errors in zsh's rlimit code. The
|
|
best solution is to edit config.h after running configure and
|
|
#define HAS_SYS_RESOURCE_H.
|
|
|
|
NetBSD: NetBSD 1.*
|
|
Should build `out-of-the-box'.
|
|
|
|
Next: NextStep 3.*
|
|
Should build `out-of-the-box', but the zsh malloc routines are
|
|
not recommended.
|
|
|
|
OpenBSD: OpenBSD 2.6
|
|
Should build `out-of-the-box'.
|
|
|
|
SIEMENS: Reliant UNIX
|
|
Builds `out-of-the-box'. Dynamic loading is supported.
|
|
Large Files and 64-bit integers are supported as of version 5.44
|
|
and CDS/CDS++ compiler.
|
|
|
|
SIEMENS: SINIX
|
|
MX (Intel) platform: SINIX-L/M 5.41
|
|
Builds out-of-the-box with EGCS. Neither dynamic loading nor
|
|
64-bit integers are supported. Native compiler was not tried
|
|
mostly because GCC/EGCS builds out-of-the-box as well. If you
|
|
succeed with native compiler, send a patch for this file
|
|
to zsh-workers.
|
|
|
|
RM (MIPS) platform: SINIX-N/Y 5.42
|
|
Should build out-of-the-box but it was not tested. Neither
|
|
dynamic loading nor 64-bit integers are supported.
|
|
Note, that this version is obsolete and users are expected to
|
|
update to Reliant UNIX.
|
|
|
|
SGI: IRIX 5.1.1.1, 5.2, 5.3, 6.2, 6.3, 6.5
|
|
Should build `out-of-the-box'.
|
|
|
|
On 6.5.2, zsh malloc routines are reported not to work; also
|
|
full optimization (cc -O3 -OPT:Olimit=0) causes problems.
|
|
|
|
Sun: SunOS 4.1.*
|
|
Under 4.1.3 if yellow pages is used, username completion may cause
|
|
segmentation violation. This is a bug in the shared library not
|
|
in zsh. Some libc.so.1.9.* 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 alternative
|
|
but untested solution may be to undefine HAVE_NIS in config.h.
|
|
This may work, but the first username completion will be _very_
|
|
slow (as slow as in tcsh).
|
|
|
|
Sun: Solaris 2.*
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Problems have been reported using --enable-lfs (the default) to
|
|
enable large file system and integer support on Solaris 2 with gcc.
|
|
Apparently upgrading to gcc version 2.95.2 fixes this. If this
|
|
is not feasible, configure with --disable-lfs. We would be
|
|
grateful for more detailed information.
