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    ftp://arthur.ath.cx/pub/AUX/Software/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    http://ftp.mayn.de/pub/apple/apple_unix/Sys_stuff/libUTIL-2.1.tar.gz
37    ftp://arthur.ath.cx/pub/AUX/Software/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() und 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    ftp://arthur.ath.cx/pub/UNIX/AUX/Software/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 should'nt cause you into problems and is recommended
64    even if you don't use ngIRCd.
