Re: Installing MH.6.8 on Solaris 2.3

You ask:
I am trying to install MH 6.8 on a SPARC20 with Solaris 2.3. In the
installation guide there is no mention of the proper settings for this
OS.

  The answer to your question is in the FAQ (Frequently Asked
  Questions) document that comes out once a month in comp.mail.mh
  (as well as news.answers).  You can find it by searching for "FAQ"
  in the subject lines.

  If you cannot find the FAQ on your system, complain to your news
  administrator that he is prematurely expiring articles with explicit
  expiration dates.  In any case, you can obtain it yourself:

  via WWW:

  via anonymous ftp:

  Also, in general, if you can't find a FAQ in a newsgroup, you can
  can always check through the Usenet hierarchy on rtfm.mit.edu (via

Subject: 2.7 ! How can I build MH on Solaris 2?
From: Neil Rickert <rickert(_at_)cs(_dot_)niu(_dot_)edu>,

  First, don't use the BSD compatible stuff.  Make sure that the Sun
  or GNU compiler appear before the BSD compiler in your PATH.

  Second, don't use GNU make.  Make sure that the Sun make appears
  before the GNU make in your PATH.

  Use conf/examples/solaris2.sun.com and fix the paths, if necessary.
  Optionally change the following to use the GNU compiler, to perform
  optimization, and to create shared libraries.

        cc              gcc
        ccoptions       -O -g -msupersparc
        slflags         -shared

  Incorporate the diff in [Appendix "mhn.c"].

  When compiling, you can ignore the following warning:

        fmtcompile.c", line 238: warning: semantics of "/" change in ANSI C;
        use explicit cast

  If you're using AFS, you'll have to replace any occurrence of "ln"
  with "ln -s" wherever the make dies when it tries to make a link
  "on a different file system."  [11.94]

  Unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH. [12.94]
