   8  See ../README for generic information.

  10  To compile PuTTY for Mac OS you will need:
  11
  12  MPW
  13   <ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Tool_Chest/Core_Mac_OS_Tools/MPW_etc./
  14    MPW-GM_Images/MPW-GM.img.bin>
  15   Install this in the usual way.
  16
  17  Universal Headers
  18   <ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Development_Kits/
  19    UniversalHeaders3.4.2.img.bin>
  20   Install using the script in "Documentation:MPW Users - ReadMe".
  21
  22  Text Encoding Converter SDK
  23   <ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Development_Kits/TEC_1.5.sit.hqx>
  24   Copy contents of "68K Static Libraries" to
  25    "Interfaces&Libraries:Libraries:Libraries".
  26   Copy contents of "Stub Libraries" to
  27    "Interfaces&Libraries:Libraries:SharedLibraries".
  28
  29  CarbonStdCLib.o
  30   <ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Tool_Chest/Core_Mac_OS_Tools/
  31    MPW_Website_Downloads/CarbonStdCLib.o-3.8d3.hqx>
  32   Copy contents of "CIncludes" to
  33    "Interfaces&Libraries:Interfaces:CIncludes".
  34   Copy contents of "PPCLibraries" to
  35    "Interfaces&Libraries:Libraries:PPCLibraries".
  36
  37  The "mkputty.mpw" script does all the work, and currently producess a
  38  Classic 68K build of PuTTY called "PuTTY.68k", a non-Carbon PowerPC
  39  build called "PuTTY.ppc", and similar builds of PuTTYtel called
  40  "PuTTYtel.68k" and "PuTTYtel.ppc".  The CFM-68K build is currently
  41  disabled because it overflows the global data space and I can't work
  42  out how to stop this happening.  The Carbon build doesn't work yet.
  43
  44 Runtime requirements:
  45
  46  The Classic 68K build of PuTTY should work on any Macintosh running
  47  System 7.0 or later.  It runs in the Classic environment in Mac OS X.
  48
  49  The CFM-68K build of PuTTY should work on any Macintosh with a 68020,
  50  68030 or 68040 processor and with either the CFM-68K Runtime Enabler
  51  or Mac OS 7.6.1 or later installed.
  52
  53  The PowerPC build of PuTTY should work on any Power Macintosh.  It
  54  runs in the Classic environment in Mac OS X.
  55
  56  The Carbon build of PuTTY (when it works) should work on any Power
  57  Macintosh with CarbonLib (and Mac OS 8.1 or later), Mac OS 9 or
  58  Mac OS X installed.

  60 Known bugs:
  61  * Display is far too slow.
  62  * Real bold doesn't compensate for changing character widths without Color
  63    QuickDraw. [MAYBE FIXED]
  64  * When the last terminal window closes, the Edit menu doesn't get disabled
  65    immediately, which it should.
  66  * When using the "VT100" font, text copied to the clipboard doesn't
  67    get newlines in it, because that font has a graphic character at
  68    position 0x0d.  Even if we did insert 0x0d manually, TextEdit
  69    insists on displaying the graphic version, so I think we need a
  70    font switch at this point.  This can be seen as a special case of
  71    the need to switch fonts to get odd characters.
  72  * Pasting large blocks of text doesn't work.
  73
  74 Unimplemented features (should be done before release):
  75  * TCP urgent data.
  76  * Listening sockets.
  77  * Changing font size in reponse to resize requests.
  78  * Full screen mode.
  79  * Session configuration.
  80  * Host key database.
  81  * Entropy collection.
  82  * Private key files.
  83  * Pageant and PuTTYgen.
  84  * Do something with Open Application Apple Events.
  85  * Warn-on-close.
  86  * Close-on-exit.
  87  * Warn-on-quit.
  88  * Non-block cursors.
  89
  90 Wishlist (after release):
  91  * SFTP client (GUI?)
  92  * Carbon compatibility (requires Open Transport and Navigation Services).
  93  * 'styl' paste, for script codes.
  94  * Handle 'gurl' Apple Events.
