<title>Interix</title>
<para>Interix is a POSIX-compatible subsystem for the Windows NT kernel,
providing a Unix-like environment with a tighter kernel integration than
available with Cygwin. It is part of the Windows Services for Unix
package, available for free for any licensed copy of Windows 2000, XP
(not including XP Home), or 2003. SFU can be downloaded from <ulink
url="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/sfu/">http://www.microsoft.com/windows/sfu/</ulink>.</para>
<para>Services for Unix 3.5 has been tested. 3.0 or 3.1 may work, but
are not officially supported. (The main difference in 3.0/3.1 is lack
of pthreads, but other parts of libc may also be lacking.)</para>
<para>Services for Unix Applications (aka SUA) is an integrated
component of Windows Server 2003 R2 (5.2), Windows Vista and
Windows Server 2008 (6.0), Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2
(6.1). As of this writing, the SUA's Interix 6.0 (32bit) and
6.1 (64bit) subsystems have been tested. Other versions may
work as well. The Interix 5.x subsystem has not yet been tested
with pkgsrc.</para>
<sect3 id="platform.interix-sfu-install">
<title>When installing Interix/SFU</title>
<para>At an absolute minimum, the following packages must be installed from
the Windows Services for Unix 3.5 distribution in order to use pkgsrc:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>Utilities -&gt; Base Utilities</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Interix GNU Components -&gt; (all)</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Remote Connectivity</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Interix SDK</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>When using pkgsrc on Interix, DO NOT install the Utilities subcomponent
"UNIX Perl". That is Perl 5.6 without shared module support, installed to
/usr/local, and will only cause confusion. Instead, install Perl 5.8 from
pkgsrc (or from a binary package).</para>
<para>The Remote Connectivity subcomponent "Windows Remote Shell Service" does
not need to be installed, but Remote Connectivity itself should be
installed in order to have a working inetd.</para>
<para>During installation you may be asked whether to enable setuid
behavior for Interix programs, and whether to make pathnames default to
case-sensitive. Setuid should be enabled, and case-sensitivity MUST be
enabled. (Without case-sensitivity, a large number of packages including
perl will not build.)</para>
<para>NOTE: Newer Windows service packs change the way binary execution
works (via the Data Execution Prevention feature). In order to use
pkgsrc and other gcc-compiled binaries reliably, a hotfix containing
POSIX.EXE, PSXDLL.DLL, PSXRUN.EXE, and PSXSS.EXE (899522 or newer)
must be installed. Hotfixes are available from Microsoft through a
support contract; however, Debian Interix Port has made most Interix
hotfixes available for personal use from <ulink
url="http://www.debian-interix.net/hotfixes/">http://www.debian-interix.net/hotfixes/</ulink>.</para>
<para>In addition to the hotfix noted above, it may be necessary to
disable Data Execution Prevention entirely to make Interix functional.
This may happen only with certain types of CPUs; the cause is not fully
understood at this time. If gcc or other applications still segfault
repeatedly after installing one of the hotfixes note above, the
following option can be added to the appropriate "boot.ini" line on the
Windows boot drive: /NoExecute=AlwaysOff
(WARNING, this will disable DEP completely, which may be a security
risk if applications are often run as a user in the Administrators
group!)</para>

<title>Important notes for using pkgsrc</title>
<para>The package manager (either the pkgsrc "su" user, or the user
running "pkg_add") must be a member of the local Administrators
group. Such a user must also be used to run the bootstrap. This is
slightly relaxed from the normal pkgsrc requirement of "root".</para>
<para>The package manager should use a umask of 002. "make install" will
automatically complain if this is not the case. This ensures that
directories written in /var/db/pkg are Administrators-group writeable.</para>
<para>The popular Interix binary packages from http://www.interopsystems.com/
use an older version of pkgsrc's pkg_* tools. Ideally, these should
NOT be used in conjunction with pkgsrc. If you choose to use them at
the same time as the pkgsrc packages, ensure that you use the proper
pkg_* tools for each type of binary package.</para>
<para>The TERM setting used for DOS-type console windows (including those
invoked by the csh and ksh startup shortcuts) is "interix". Most systems
don't have a termcap/terminfo entry for it, but the following .termcap
entry provides adequate emulation in most cases:</para>

<title>Limitations of the Interix platform</title>
<para>Though Interix suffices as a familiar and flexible substitute
for a full Unix-like platform, it has some drawbacks that should
be noted for those desiring to make the most of Interix.</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para><emphasis role="strong">X11:</emphasis></para>
<para>Interix comes with the standard set of X11R6 client libraries,
and can run X11 based applications, but it does
<emphasis>not</emphasis> come with an X server. Some options are

<ulink url="http://connectivity.hummingbird.com/products/nc/exceed/">Hummingbird Exceed</ulink>
(available in a trimmed version for Interix from Interop Systems as the
<ulink url="http://www.interopsystems.com/InteropXserver.htm">Interop X Server</ulink>),
and the free X11 server included with
<ulink url="http://x.cygwin.com/">Cygwin</ulink>.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem><para><emphasis role="strong">X11 acceleration:</emphasis></para>
<para>Because Interix runs in a completely different NT subsystem from
Win32 applications, it does not currently support various X11
protocol extensions for acceleration (such as MIT-SHM or DGA).
Most interactive applications to a local X server will run
reasonably fast, but full motion video and other graphics
intensive applications may require a faster-than-expected CPU.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><emphasis role="strong">Audio:</emphasis></para>
<para>Interix has no native support for audio output. For audio
support, pkgsrc uses the <command>esound</command> client/server
audio system on Interix. Unlike on most platforms, the
<filename role="pkg">audio/esound</filename> package does
<emphasis>not</emphasis> contain the <command>esd</command>
server component. To output audio via an Interix host, the
<filename role="pkg">emulators/cygwin_esound</filename> package
must also be installed.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><emphasis role="strong">CD/DVDs, USB, and SCSI:</emphasis></para>
<para>Direct device access is not currently supported in Interix, so it
is not currently possible to access CD/DVD drives, USB devices,
or SCSI devices through non-filesystem means. Among other things,
this makes it impossible to use Interix directly for CD/DVD
burning.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><emphasis role="strong">Tape drives:</emphasis></para>
<para>Due to the same limitations as for CD-ROMs and SCSI devices, tape
drives are also not directly accessible in Interix. However,
support is in work to make tape drive access possible by using
Cygwin as a bridge (similarly to audio bridged via Cygwin's
esound server).</para></listitem>

<title>Known issues for pkgsrc on Interix</title>
<para>It is not necessary, in general, to have a "root" user on the
Windows system; any member of the local Administrators group will
suffice. However, some packages currently assume that the user
named "root" is the privileged user. To accommodate these, you
may create such a user; make sure it is in the local group
Administrators (or your language equivalent).</para>
<para><command>pkg_add</command> creates directories of mode
0755, not 0775, in <filename>$PKG_DBDIR</filename>. For the
time being, install packages as the local Administrator (or
your language equivalent), or run the following command after
installing a package to work around the issue:</para>

</sect2>
<sect2 id="irix">
<title>IRIX</title>
<para>You will need a working C compiler, either gcc or SGI's MIPS and MIPSpro
compiler (cc/c89). Please set the <varname>CC</varname> environment variable
according to your preference. If you do not have a license for the MIPSpro
compiler suite, you can download a gcc tardist file from <ulink
url="http://freeware.sgi.com/">http://freeware.sgi.com/</ulink>.</para>
<para>Please note that you will need IRIX 6.5.17 or higher, as this is the earliest
version of IRIX providing support for &man.if.indextoname.3;, &man.if.nametoindex.3;,
etc.</para>
<para>At this point in time, pkgsrc only supports one ABI at a time. That is, you cannot
switch between the old 32-bit ABI, the new 32-bit ABI and the 64-bit ABI. If
you start out using "abi=n32", that's what all your packages will be built
with.</para>
<para>Therefore, please make sure that you have no conflicting
<varname>CFLAGS</varname> in your environment or the
&mk.conf;. Particularly, make sure that you do not
try to link n32 object files with lib64 or vice versa. Check your
<filename>/etc/compiler.defaults</filename>!</para>
<para>If you have the actual pkgsrc tree mounted via NFS from a different host,
please make sure to set <varname>WRKOBJDIR</varname> to a local directory,
as it appears that IRIX linker occasionally runs into issues when trying to
link over a network-mounted file system.</para>
<para>The bootstrapping process should set all the right options for programs such
as imake(1), but you may want to set some options depending on your local
setup. Please see <filename>pkgsrc/mk/defaults/mk.conf</filename> and, of
course, your compiler's man pages for details.</para>
<para>If you are using SGI's MIPSPro compiler, please set
<programlisting>
PKGSRC_COMPILER= mipspro
</programlisting>
in &mk.conf;. Otherwise, pkgsrc will assume you
are using gcc and may end up passing invalid flags to the compiler. Note that
bootstrap should create an appropriate <filename>mk.conf.example</filename> by
default.</para>
<para>If you have both the MIPSPro compiler chain installed as well as gcc,
but want to make sure that MIPSPro is used, please set your <varname>PATH</varname>
to <emphasis>not</emphasis> include the location of gcc (often
<filename>/usr/freeware/bin</filename>), and (important) pass the
'--preserve-path' flag.</para>

<sect2 id="linux">
<title>Linux</title>
<para>Some versions of Linux (for example Debian GNU/Linux) need
either libtermcap or libcurses (libncurses). Installing the
distributions libncurses-dev package (or equivalent) should fix
the problem.</para>
<para>pkgsrc supports both gcc (GNU Compiler Collection) and icc
(Intel C++ Compiler). gcc is the default. icc 8.0 and 8.1 on
i386 have been tested.</para>
<para>To bootstrap using icc, assuming the default icc installation
directory:</para>
<programlisting>
env CC=/opt/intel_cc_80/bin/icc LDFLAGS=-static-libcxa \
ac_cv___attribute__=yes ./bootstrap
</programlisting>
<note>
<para>icc 8.1 needs the `-i-static' argument instead of -static-libcxa.</para>
</note>
<para>icc supports __attribute__, but the GNU configure test uses a nested
function, which icc does not support. #undef'ing __attribute__ has the
unfortunate side-effect of breaking many of the Linux header files, which
cannot be compiled properly without __attribute__. The test must be
overridden so that __attribute__ is assumed supported by the
compiler.</para>
<para>After bootstrapping, you should set <varname>PKGSRC_COMPILER</varname>
in &mk.conf;:</para>
<programlisting>
PKGSRC_COMPILER= icc
</programlisting>
<para>The default installation directory for icc is
<filename>/opt/intel_cc_80</filename>, which
is also the pkgsrc default. If you have installed it into a different
directory, set <varname>ICCBASE</varname> in
&mk.conf;:</para>
<programlisting>
ICCBASE= /opt/icc
</programlisting>
<para>pkgsrc uses the static linking method of the runtime libraries
provided by icc, so binaries can be run on other systems which do not
have the shared libraries installed.</para>
<para>Libtool, however, extracts a list of libraries from the
&man.ld.1; command run when linking a C++ shared library and
records it, throwing away the -Bstatic and -Bdynamic options
interspersed between the libraries. This means that
libtool-linked C++ shared libraries will have a runtime
dependency on the icc libraries until this is fixed in
libtool.</para>
