$NetBSD: README.Interix,v 1.3 2004/03/11 20:47:56 tv Exp $
Please read the general README file as well.
NOTE: Currently, Interix support in pkgsrc is unstable, so errors and
problems are expected. Known caveats are listed at the bottom of this
document.
Interix is a POSIX compatible subsystem for the Windows NT kernel, providing
a Unix-like environment with a tighter kernel integration than available
with Cygwin. It is part of the Windows Services for Unix package, available
for Windows 2000, XP, and 2003. SFU can be downloaded from:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/sfu/
At an absolute minimum, the following packages must be installed from the
Windows Services for Unix 3.5 distribution in order to use bootstrap-pkgsrc:
Utilities -> Base Utilities
Interix GNU Components -> (all)
Remote Connectivity
Interix SDK
The Remote Connectivity subcomponent, Windows Remote Shell Service, does not
need to be installed, but Remote Connectivity itself should be installed in
order to have a working inetd.
Last but not least, if the installer prompts whether to change the default
POSIX behavior to case-sensitive, answer Yes. If the filename handling
remains as case-insensitive, then "bootstrap" will require the
"--ignore-case-check" option.
=====
KNOWN CAVEATS
* As of this writing, the necessary Interix support stubs have not yet been
added to pkgsrc/mk.
* On Windows under Interix, the "root" user is actually named
"Administrator". This may require some modification to pkgsrc to
introduce a parameterized root user for installation purposes.
(Likewise, the bootstrap script sets the root group to "+Administrators".)
