   6 Compiling it:
   7
   8  See ../README for generic information.
   9
  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
  16  Universal Headers (optional)
  17   <ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Development_Kits/
  18    UniversalHeaders3.4.2.img.bin>
  19
  20  Text Encoding Converter SDK
  21   <ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Development_Kits/TEC_1.5.sit.hqx>
  22
  23  Install MPW, install the new Universal Headers (optional), then put
  24  the contents of the "68K Static Libraries" directory of the Text
  25  Encoding Converter SDK into "Interfaces&Libraries:Libraries:Libraries",
  26  and the contents of the "Stub Libraries" directory into
  27  "Interfaces&Libraries:Libraries:SharedLibraries".
  28
  29  The "mkputty.mpw" script does all the work, and currently producess a
  30  Classic 68K build of PuTTY called "PuTTY.68k", a CFM-68K build called
  31  "PuTTY.cfm68k", and a non-Carbon PowerPC build called "PuTTY.ppc".
  32
  33 Runtime requirements:
  34
  35  The Classic 68K build of PuTTY should work on any Macintosh running
  36  System 7.0 or later.  It runs in the Classic environment in Mac OS X.
  37
  38  The CFM-68K build of PuTTY should work on any Macintosh with a 68020,
  39  68030 or 68040 processor and with either the CFM-68K Runtime Enabler
  40  or Mac OS 7.6.1 or later installed.
  41
  42  The PowerPC build of PuTTY should work on any Power Macintosh.  It
  43  runs in the Classic environment in Mac OS X.
  44
  45 Known bugs:
  46
  47  * PowerPC and fat versions fail to start on systems without AppearanceLib (ie
  48    most System 7 ones).  The 68k version works fine. [MAYBE FIXED]
  49  * Display is far too slow.
  50  * Real bold doesn't compensate for changing character widths without Color
  51    QuickDraw. [MAYBE FIXED]
  52  * sshsha.c and sshmd5.c cause a stack overflow in Apple's PowerPC C compiler
  53    unless optimisation is entirely disabled.
  54
  55 Features we need (and aren't entirely obvious):
  56
  57  * Scroll-conflation -- scroll_display should change the in-memory
  58    display and remember the scroll, then do_scroll should be called
  59    only when scroll_display gets called for a different rectangle or
  60    term_paint happens.
