                     12:
                     13:
                     14: Since version 0.2.2-pre Apple's A/UX belongs to the officially supported
                     15: platforms. It is not restricted in any way.
                     16:
                     17: Since version 0.5.0 ngIRCd's source compiles with the native A/UX c
                     18: compiler. GNU C isn't a must-have anymore.
                     19:
                     20: The following software packages are needed:
                     21:
                     22:  - GNU sed
                     23:    Source:
                     24:    http://www.rezepte-im-web.de/appleux/sed-3.02.tar.gz
                     25:    http://arthur.barton.de/pub/unix/aux/tools/sed-3.02.tar.gz
                     26:
                     27:    A/UX comes with /bin/sed which isn't supporting all functions needed
                     28:    by GNU automake/autoconf.
                     29:
                     30:    Warning: When installing GNU sed please make sure that A/UX doesn't
                     31:    use the old one anymore which means set the $PATH or replace /bin/sed
                     32:    at all.
                     33:
                     34:  - libUTIL.a
                     35:    Source:
                     36:    ftp://ftp.mayn.de/pub/really_old_stuff/apple/apple_unix/Sys_stuff/libUTIL-2.1.tar.gz>
                     37:    http://arthur.barton.de/pub/unix/aux/libraries/libUTIL-2.1.tar.gz
                     38:
                     39:    This library contains functions that are common on other UNIX
                     40:    systems but not on A/UX e.g. memmove(), strerror() and strdup().
                     41:
                     42:
                     43: After installation of these packages just do a "./configure" and "make" to
                     44: compile ngIRCd on A/UX.
                     45:
                     46:
                     47: A few hints in case of errors:
                     48:
                     49:  - Either there's an 'install' on your system which is completely broken
                     50:    (so 'configure' uses its own shell script) or use a fully functionable one.
                     51:    There's at least one binary "out there" causing problems. The one
                     52:    of the GNU fileutils works fine:
                     53:    http://arthur.barton.de/pub/unix/aux/tools/fileutils-4.0.tar.gz
                     54:
                     55:  - The precompiled binary of the old 'bash' shouldn't be installed within
                     56:    /bin (better do this in /usr/local/bin) because 'configure' would
                     57:    choose it as its shell which wouldn't work.
                     58:
                     59:  - Because of limitations of /bin/sh on A/UX it can't be used to create
                     60:    the 'config.status' script. Better rename /bin/sh to /bin/sh.AUX and
                     61:    replace it by a symbolic link to /bin/ksh (ln -s /bin/ksh /bin/sh as
                     62:    root).
                     63:    These procedure shouldn't cause you into problems and is recommended
                     64:    even if you don't use ngIRCd.
                     65:
