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. 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list may be out of date, as the developers do not have access to all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tested recently is marked as `out of date'.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]

|
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.
|
|
|
|
Reported to compile with no problems on 10.4.
|
|
|
|
Compiling with GCC on 10.9.1 (Mavericks) reportedly causes a crash
|
|
due to a libiconv problem. Compile with clang instead.
|
|
|
|
Multibyte support works; you probably wish to set the
|
|
option COMBINING_CHARS, which is not enabled by default.
|
|
Problems have been noted when outputting multibyte characters
|
|
to the terminal from a "preexec" function.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Process substitution using <(...), >(...), =(...) may be
|
|
problematic. Different versions of zsh and Cygwin have
|
|
a different mix of issues.
|
|
|
|
Problems handling subprocesses have been reported with Cygwin
|
|
1.7.5. It is not currently known how the problems split between
|
|
Cygwin and zsh.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD: FreeBSD 2.2.7, 3.x, 4.x, ... 7
|
|
Should build `out-of-the-box'. On FreeBSD 2.2, dynamic loading
|
|
does not work, but it does with 3.x and later.
|
|
|
|
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 this on 11.0, but is no longer necessary on
|
|
more recent versions of HP-UX 11, i.e. 11.11+.
|
|
|
|
Typical gcc installations on HP-UX use HP's linker rather than
|
|
the GNU one. Configure will fail to set up dynamic linking in
|
|
this situation. The following should allow building of modules:
|
|
DLLD=/usr/ccs/bin/ld DLLDFLAGS=-b DLCFLAGS=-fpic ./configure ...
|
|
|
|
Compiling with gcc 2.7.1 is known to fail with header file
|
|
conflicts. Use the HP ANSI C compiler.
|
|
|
|
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, 3.x (various 32-bit and 64-bit processors)
|
|
Should build `out-of-the-box'.
|
|
|
|
The following problems should not occur with recent
|
|
distributions.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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'.
|
|
|
|
OpenIndiana: OpenIndiana 151a
|
|
Problems have been reported with awk when used to generate
|
|
prototype files for building zsh. Upgrading to gawk (GNU awk)
|
|
version 4.0.0 fixes this.
|
|
|
|
Sun: Solaris 2.x, 8, 9, ...
|
|
It is recommended that the system library version of iconv()
|
|
be used rather than libiconv since there are incompatibilities
|
|
in the way codesets are named.
|
|
|
|
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-largefile (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. Some of these OSes are now very long in the tooth. We would
|
|
be glad to receive any reports of success or failure on these OSes ---
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|

|
|
Should build `out-of-the-box'.
