Information about PuTTY for the Mac OS
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
See ../README for generic information.
- I compile PuTTY using MPW, with Universal Headers 3.4.2. The
- "mkputty.mpw" script does most of the work, but currently needs you
- to run "Rez -append -o PuTTY mac_res.r {Includes}" to get the
- resources compiled in. The Makefile currently only generates a
- Classic 68K application. Other architectures will come later.
+ To compile PuTTY for Mac OS you will need:
+
+ MPW
+ <ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Tool_Chest/Core_Mac_OS_Tools/MPW_etc./
+ MPW-GM_Images/MPW-GM.img.bin>
+
+ Universal Headers (optional)
+ <ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Development_Kits/
+ UniversalHeaders3.4.2.img.bin>
+
+ Text Encoding Converter SDK
+ <ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Development_Kits/TEC_1.5.sit.hqx>
+
+ Install MPW, install the new Universal Headers (optional), then put
+ the contents of the "68K Static Libraries" directory of the Text
+ Encoding Converter SDK into "Interfaces&Libraries:Libraries:Libraries",
+ and the contents of the "Stub Libraries" directory into
+ "Interfaces&Libraries:Libraries:SharedLibraries".
+
+ The "mkputty.mpw" script does all the work, and currently producess a
+ Classic 68K build of PuTTY called "PuTTY.68k", a CFM-68K build called
+ "PuTTY.cfm68k", and a non-Carbon PowerPC build called "PuTTY.ppc".
Runtime requirements:
- PuTTY should run on any Macintosh running System 7.0 or later. The
- Classic 68K build seems not to run under Mac OS X (even with
- Classic.app).
+ The Classic 68K build of PuTTY should work on any Macintosh running
+ System 7.0 or later. It runs in the Classic environment in Mac OS X.
+
+ The CFM-68K build of PuTTY should work on any Macintosh with a 68020,
+ 68030 or 68040 processor and with either the CFM-68K Runtime Enabler
+ or Mac OS 7.6.1 or later installed.
+
+ The PowerPC build of PuTTY should work on any Power Macintosh. It
+ runs in the Classic environment in Mac OS X.
Known bugs:
* Display is far too slow.
* Real bold doesn't compensate for changing character widths without Color
QuickDraw. [MAYBE FIXED]
- * sshsha.c and sshmd5.c cause a stack overflow in Apple's PowerPC C compiler
- unless optimisation is entirely disabled.
+ * init_ucs() gets unitab_xterm completely wrong.
-Features we need (and aren't entirely obvious):
+Unimplemented features:
- * Scroll-conflation -- scroll_display should change the in-memory
- display and remember the scroll, then do_scroll should be called
- only when scroll_display gets called for a different rectangle or
- term_paint happens.
+ * TCP urgent data.
+ * Clipping host resize requests to screen size.
+ * Changing font size in reponse to resize requests.
+ * TEXT copy/paste.
+ * Catching up with current keyboard mapping in other ports.
+ * Saving sessions.
+ * Session configuration.
+ * 'TMPL' for 'Int ' resources (copied into saved sessions).
