Amiga, HP-UX, IRIX, and Other Platforms
One of the wonders of Open Source development is that resources
are often biased towards what people find exciting rather than having
an exclusive focus on profits as most corporations do. It is along
those lines that the Amiga port came about. Diego Casorran performed
most of the work and sent in a clean patch which was integrated into
the main Nmap distribution. In general, AmigaOS users should be able
to simply follow the source compilation instructions in the section called “Unix Compilation and Installation from Source Code” You may encounter a few hurdles on some
systems, but I presume that must be part of the fun for Amiga
fanatics.
Nmap supports many proprietary Unix flavors such as HP-UX and
SGI IRIX. The Nmap project mostly depends on the user community to
maintain adequate support for these systems. If you have trouble, try
sending a report with full details to the nmap-dev mailing list
(<nmap-dev@insecure.org>
). If you develop a patch which
improves support on your platform, please email it to nmap-dev or to me at <fyodor@insecure.org>
