Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
=====================================
Q. What flavors of Unix (and Unix-like operating systems) are supported?
A. Currently, Linux-x86, FreeBSD-x86, OpenBSD-x86, and Solaris-x86.
There are currently issues linking the Mozilla libraries (libjs.a and
libnspr4.lib) on RedHat Linux 9 and Mandrake Linux 9. We are working
on resolving this issue.
A. Currently, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, QNX and Solaris-x86.
Q. What distributions of Linux are supported?
A. Should work with any GNU/Linux-x86 distribution (e.g. RedHat, Mandrake,
Debian, Slackware, etc.).
Q. Linking error: undefined reference: '__ctype_b'
A: There are currently issues linking the provided Mozilla libraries for Linux
(libjs.a and libnspr4.lib) on RedHat Linux 9 and Mandrake Linux 9 using
glibc v2.3.2-11+.
We are working on resolving this issue permanently, but in the mean-time,
there are currently two available work-arounds:
1. Download and extract ftp://ftp.synchro.net/lib-linux-rh9.tgz for
RH9-compatible versions of the Mozilla libraries.
or:
2. Build the Mozilla libraries from source,
see http://mannsoft.ca/howtos.php for detailed instructions.
Q. Are non-x86 (Alpha, SPARC, 68k, PowerPC, etc) processors supported?
A. Not currently. Synchronet assumes a little-endian processor. It *may* work
on other little-endian processors (e.g. Alpha), but hasn't been tested.
