Subject: (9.1) Comments for this part of the FAQ
This part of the Faq is to provide some example configurations whichworked at least for some sites. I want to collect more then what is below; this is just meant as a starting point.
- Name and Email - a diff of config.data against config.dist leaving out changes to local paths (except where they are relevant for work i.e. path to egrep) Please send me diffs as you find them below, not entire config.data files. Please strip the diff to only include the changed lines (see the entries below to see what I mean).
- the software environment it runs on (OS name and version, vendor patches to OS applied - compiler (version?) and compiling environment.
- other changes you made
Please see the entries below first to get the impression before you submit an entry. Send new entries to me (hwr@pilhuhn.de) and questions about specific configurations to the submitter of the entry. See also 1.20 and 1.8

##OS: HP-UX hp9000 B.10.01 A 9000/801 ##COMPILER: gcc 2.6.3 GNU bison 1.22
##MISC: Some minor notes on getting it to compile. My syslog.h is not in <sys/syslog.h> but <syslog.h>, and it doesn't contain LOG_NEWS. A new syslog is probably much wanted on the standard hpux-10.01. I used the one from a recent berkeley syslog.h : #define LOG_NEWS (7<<3) /* network news subsystem */ Also, HPUX doesn't come with yacc. I tried byacc 3.0 but it didn't work, so I used bison -y. Finally, HPUX doens't have egrep, i used the GNU version.
-----Daryl Gaumer (darylg@cup.hp.com) adds:
The full blown C/ANSII-C compiler is a separate product. I think yacc comes
with this product.
Corrections:
egrep ships with HP-UX (as part of the "core-OS"). It is /usr/bin/egrep on a system running 9.05 (and on my workstation with is running HP-UX 10.01).

but the actual syslogd doesn't recognice the "news" facility. Using "56.whatever" instead of "news.whatever" however appears to work fine.

##OS: Reliant Unix 5.43 C0024 on a MIPS RM300-C62 (Siemens Nixdorf)
##COMPILER: gcc 2.7.2
##MISC:
- the environment is by no means vanilla Reliant Unix 5.43. I've installed
a good deal of GNU software. This has primarily effect on the paths
but doesn't really affect compilation of INN (at least I don't think
so). The only important change in the paths is for sed; /sbin/sed
(the one that comes with Reliant Unix 5.43) didn't pass the sedtest,
so I took the GNU version (sed-v2.05).
- gettimeofday() uses only _one_ argument, so you have to change the
call in lib/gettime.c (line 33) from
if (gettimeofday(&tv, (struct timezone *)NULL) == -1)
to
if (gettimeofday(&tv) == -1)
##FURTHER NOTES:<BR>
- subst.c won't compile with gcc unless you explicitely tell him to use
gcc - and you have no license for the cc that comes with the system ...
This is no problem if you use the shell version.

##OS: UnixWare 2.1.2 ##COMPILER: cc (supplied) ##MISC: The gzip, awk, and sed in /usr/local/bin are the corresponding GNU utilities. This is with UnixWare 2.1.2 (the latest version at the moment), and the cc that's supplied with the system of course. I have the UnixWare Software Development Kit installed, I don't think it's necessary to compile INN though. The same setup should more or less work for all UnixWare 2.x versions. 1.x would probably be somewhat different...
