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>.
