If you succeed in getting -zsh to work on an OS not listed, let us know. The information in this -list may be out of date, as the developers do not have access to all -machines. In general, GNU/Linux distributions, Solaris and Cygwin are -reasonably well covered. Please let us have any recent information -on other systems. The information for systems not known to have been -tested recently is marked as `out of date'. - -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: MacOS X/Darwin 10.x - Should build `out-of-the-box'. - - For dynamic loading to work on 10.1 and 10.2, you need to use the - dlcompat library. It can be downloaded from: - http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=17203 - - The zsh/zpty library is not working on 10.1 and 10.2, but is on - 10.3. This causes the tests starting `Y' in the Test directory to - fail, even though the features to be tested are working. - -Red Hat Inc.: Cygwin - Should build `out-of-the-box'. The compilation directory should - be on a file system mounted as binary (the mount command shows - `binmode'). There are various issues with Cygwin versions before - 1.3.2 - you are adviced to update to the latest release. - - Dynamic loading works as of cygwin-1.1.3 and binutils-20000722-1. - It was not tested for earlier versions. This does not imply - that every module will work. New completion and 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. - - Cygwin allows mount without existing mount point (e.g. - "mount //server/path /usr/src" where /usr/src does not exist). - Path completion will fail inside these mounts; make sure that - every mount point really exists. - -DEC: Ultrix (Alpha or DECstation) -DEC: Mach 3.0 (DECstation 5000/25) -DEC: OSF/1 1.2, 1.3, 2.0, 3.x, DEC Unix 4.x (Alpha) - [Out of date.] - - 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.x (PA-RISC, Itanium) - Should build `out-of-the-box'. - - Previous problems encountered on HP-UX 11.x: - - Some of the special keys on the keyboard (backspace, delete) - have been found to stop functioning. One suggested fix is - to alter the way the curses library is linked in the Makefile. - Replacing `-lcurses' with `-lHcurses -lcurses' in the libraries - is reported to fix. An attempt to fix this in configure - is apparently ineffective; more information would be appreciated - as the maintainers do not have access to an HP-UX system. - Recent reports indicated this is not necessary on recent versions - of HP-UX 11. - - Compiling with gcc 2.7.1 is known to fail with header file - conflicts. Use the HP ANSI C compiler. - -HP/Compaq: Tru64 4.x, 5.x - Should build `out-of-the-box'. - -IBM: AIX 3.2, 4.x, 5.x - Should build `out-of-the-box'. - - Certain features will not work, in particular --enable-cap - and --enable-zsh-mem. (The feature enabled by --enable-cap - is apparently present, however. Help getting this to work - would be appreciated.) - - 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 appeared to be problems using - --enable-dynamic (the default) with gcc (version was 2.7.2.3), - though native cc works. More information about this problem - would be appreciated. - - It was reported, that at least some 4.x versions have problem - with curses - variables boolcodes and some other are declared - in term.h but missing is libcurses.a. That makes native compiler - very unhappy (GCC 3.0 apparently does not mind). Zsh now defaults - to termcap on AIX; any info about this problem is appreciated. - -Linux: Linux 2.x (various 32-bit and 64-bit processors) - 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.x - Should build `out-of-the-box'. - -OpenBSD: OpenBSD 2.x, 3.x - Should build `out-of-the-box'. - -SIEMENS: Reliant UNIX - [Out of date.] - - 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 - [Out of date.] - - 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 6.2, 6.3, 6.5 - [Out of date.] - - 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. - - If using the SGI compiler, variable length arrays need to - be turned off. configure can work this out for itself if it - is passed the option --enable-cflags='-LANG:vla=off -O' (combined - with other flags if necessary). - - The zpty module is not currently supported. This causes the - tests starting `Y' in the Test directory to fail, even though - the features to be tested are working. - -Sun: SunOS 4.1.x - [Out of date.] - - 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.x, 8, 9 - 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 were once reported using --enable-lfs (the default) to - enable large file system and integer support on Solaris 2 with gcc - before 2.95.2. Recent versions of gcc appear to be unproblematic. - -Other machines --------------- - -Zsh has previously been compiled on the following machines, but the -developers do not have direct access to them and the reports may be out of -date. We would be glad to receive any reports of success or failure on -these OS's --- and, of course, any others not mentioned in this file. - -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'. - -Data General: DG/UX 5.4R3.10 MU01 (various AViiONs) - Should build `out-of-the-box'. - -Next: NextStep 3.* - Should build `out-of-the-box', but the zsh malloc routines are - not recommended. - -SCO: UnixWare 2.1.3 - Builds `out-of-the-box'. |
