- Section 9 ("Supported" Software List).
-
- #9.1 Software known to run under 386BSD
- #9.2 List whether patches are needed
- #9.3 List version/release of program
- #9.4 List who is supporting it if anyone
- #9.5 List where you can get it
-
- 9.0 What GNU software has been tested and is working with Net/2 derived
- BSD systems for the 386?
-
- Just about all of it.
-
-
- 9.1 Has anyone ever gotten news to work?
-
-
- news running on 386bsd. Here is a quick summary of the major
- places to stumble:
-
- 1) get bash, gmake, gcc 2.X, cnews, trn (or your favorite reader).
-
- 2) Make uucp work. (Read the info files that come with the
- original distribution for the whole scoop on configuration
- files.)
-
- Ed Note: This step is not needed if you are imeplementing SLIP or
- are directly connected to a network.
-
- 3) Edit all the scripts which come with cnews and replace every
- occurence of /bin/sh with /usr/local/bin/bash (or wherever you put
- it).
-
- 4) Build cnews using bash, gmake and gcc 2.x
-
- 5) Install cnews in the directories you want it. Some hand-hacking
- of the intall scripts is required (Too long ago to remember the
- details).
-
- 6) Change the permissions on all the scripts from execute only to
- read-execute for group and other. (On 386bsd, if you can't read
- a script, you can't execute it).
-
- 7) Set up uucp to accept news
-
- 8) Post an article and steal it out of the uucp queue before it
- gets sent. Feed it to your rnews (as user uucp) instead and make
- sure that it does not bomb out with permission denied or some such.
-
- 9) Have fun!
-
- Implementing innd is even easier. The configure script that comes
- with the system has been modified to work more correctly with
- Net/2 derived BSD systems. There are rumors of problems with
- 'lint', but these are easiest to find if you just run the configure
- script and let the system find the errors. This patch file gives
- an example of the types of changes that need to be made.
-
- Ed Note: This patch is reversed. The first block in each
- section is the way your Makefile should look.
