Subject: To what platforms has Pine been ported?
Status: RO
X-Status: 

The Pine distribution includes binaries for AIX 3.2 (on RS/6000), HP/UX
9.0, Linux 1.1, NeXTStep (on NeXT hardware), SunOS 4.1 (on SPARCStations),
Solaris 2.2, Ultrix 4.1 and 4.2 (on DECStations), MS-DOS (PC-Pine) and
MS-Windows (PC-Pine for Windows). 
   
PC-Pine is available for the following TCP/IP stacks: FTP's PC/TCP,
University of Waterloo's WATTCP stack with packet drivers, Novell's LAN
Workplace, Sun's PC/NFS, and Winsock. 
   
Pine has been compiled on other UNIX platforms (4.3 Berkeley UNIX, DEC
OSF/1 V1.2A, Dynix/PTX V1.4.0, VAX Ultrix 4.1, A/UX 3.0, BSD/386 Gamma
4.1, Convex, Dynix 3.0 and 3.1 on Sequent Symmetry, Interactive Systems
Corporation UNIX, Silicon Graphics IRIS with IRIX 4.0.1, SCO Unix, System
V release 4) as well.

Subject: Pine 3.89 on an IBM RS/6000 running AIX 3.2.3 crashes every time I try to open a folder.
Status: RO
X-Status: 

Some AIX distributions apparently include a compiler that does not
correctly compile certain constructs used in Pine 3.89 and earlier. We
think that Pine 3.90 works around the problems but it is difficult for us
to confirm this since there is considerable variation among AIX systems.
We have also not been able to identify a particular version or patch of
AIX or the compiler that is the culprit.

Subject: I cannot compile under SCO unix, why not?
Status: RO

Pine has been tested and compiles just fine on a suitably equipped SCO
Unix 3.2.4, and probably works on the whole 3.2 series (testing has not
been as extensive).  It handles both MMDF and sendmail mailboxes without
needing recompilation.  It should be sufficient just to unpack the source
tree and run "sh build sco" at the top level.  You need to own the
complete Development System, and the Developer's Versions of the other
packages.  Pine will not compile without TCP/IP support. 

The most common problem is when people own the Development System, but
keep getting missing header files (netbd.h is one) in their builds.  This
is a common problem on SCO systems because of the great fragmentation SCO
enjoys in the marketing of system components.  It is easy to get confused
about just what you've bought.  And in this case, haven't bought. What you
need is the "Developer's Version" of the TCP/IP product.  The normal
version just supports the TCP/IP protocol, but doesn't include tools
(including header files) to compile TCP/IP-specific programs.  Alas, the
only remedies available to you are to pick up a pre-compiled version (mine
is on odi.cwc.whecn.edu, ftp.celestial.com has their own, which prefers
Bezerk mailboxes, though it supports MMDF too), or to buy the Developer's
Version of TCP/IP.  If you intend to do any serious compiling of Internet-
available programs, I'd recommend the latter, though many of the most
useful ones are available precompiled on other FTP sites.
