When compiling on SysV-based systems you will probably need to add '-lbsd' to the LIBS variable in the Makefile. I personally have compiled and tested popclient on the following systems: o Ultrix 4.2A, 4.3, 4.3A o DEC/OSF1 1.x o NetBSD 0.9 o AIX 3.2.x o Sequent DYNIX 3.2.x Others tell me that it compiles easily on o Linux 0.9, 1.0 o SunOS 4.x Sorry, there is no cutesy 'Configure' script. You'll have to edit the Makefile and config.h -- I've done my best to include reasonable defaults for most everything. Once the Makefile and config.h are ready, do the following: o 'make' o 'su' and 'make install' and you're ready to go. Be sure to 'man popclient' -- the man page is fairly extensive. Enjoy!
