People occasionally send us patches to make the Unix port more portable.

We're now using Autoconf to help with inter-Unix portability.

Here are some of the patches we received before that. Some of them may still be relevant:

  • FreeBSD:
    • FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE
      wwvn0lvct6s.fsf@rjk.greenend.org.uk
    • FreeBSD 5.1
      20031029224803.GK30375@earth.li
    • FreeBSD-5.2-RELEASE
      1075418510.724.16.camel@localhost
      20040213160319.GA565@scimitar.noc.nl.demon.net (with commentary)
    • Apparently PuTTY is now in the FreeBSD ports tree.
  • NetBSD with gcc-3.x
