+ Subject: Notes for DELL SVR4
+
+ Eric,
+
+ Here are some notes for compiling Sendmail 8.6.4 on DELL SVR4. I ran
+ across these things when helping out some people who contacted me by
+ e-mail.
+
+ 1) Use gcc 2.4.5 (or later?). Dell distributes gcc 2.1 with their
+ Issue 2.2 Unix. It is too old, and gives you problems with
+ clock.c, because sigset_t won't get defined in <sys/signal.h>.
+ This is due to a problematic protection rule in there, and is
+ fixed with gcc 2.4.5.
+
+ 2) If you don't use the new Berkeley DB (-DNEWDB), then you need
+ to add "-lc -lucb" to the libraries to link with. This is because
+ the -ldbm distributed by Dell needs the bcopy, bcmp and bzero
+ functions. It is important that you specify both libraries in
+ the given order to be sure you only get the BSTRING functions
+ from the UCB library (and not the signal routines etc.).
+
+ 3) Don't leave out "-lelf" even if compiling with "-lc -lucb".
+ The UCB library also has another copy of the nlist routines,
+ but we do want the ones from "-lelf".
+
+ If anyone needs a compiled gcc 2.4.5 and/or a ported DB library, they
+ can use anonymous ftp to fetch them from lut.fi in the /kim directory.
+ They are copies of what I use on grendel.lut.fi, and offering them
+ does not imply that I would also support them. I have sent the DB
+ port for SVR4 back to Keith Bostic for inclusion in the official
+ distribution, but I haven't heard anything from him as of today.
+
+ - gcc-2.4.5-svr4.tar.gz (gcc 2.4.5 and the corresponding libg++)
+ - db-1.72.tar.gz (with source, objects and a installed copy)
+
+ Cheers
+ + Kim
