1To make NNTP run on SYSV Release 2 or earlier, do the following:
2
31. Get the Berkeley Directory Library emulation package. You can get it
4from ftp.academ.com in /pub/nntp1.5/ndir.shar. This is the so-called NDIR
5package. Install it. (If you don't know if you have it, look for the
6file ndir.h in /usr/include. If it is there, you have the NDIR library
7and can move on the step 2.)
8
92. Edit conf.h.  Make sure you define USG and look at all the other
10stuff in there to be sure you have defined all the other things you
11need. (You will most likely need to define U_LONG, ALONE, vfork, and
12FAKESYSLOG. You will most likely need to undefine FASTFORK, BSD_42,
13DBM, SUBNET, NETMASK, DAMAGED_NETMASK, and DECNET.) You will probably
14need to undefine SYSLOG if you don't define FAKESYSLOG.
15
163. Edit the Makefile in the root directory of the nntp sources.  Make sure to
17add -lndir to the LIBS line. If you have EXCELAN, you will probably need to
18add a -lsocket here aswell. If the networking include files are not in the
19"standard location" (e.g. /usr/include), be sure to modify the CFLAGS lines to
20add -Ilocation_of_the_network_include_files.
21
224. Now, you can cd to the root directory of the nntp sources and type
23"make server" to make the server programs.
24
25If you have problems, send mail to nntp@academ.edu and he will help if he
26can.
