This is the Solaris README file for netatalk.

1.  SELECT COMPILER.  This distribution is configured to build with
    gcc.  It should also work with cc. At the present time only cc
    v5.0 and above can build the 64-bit kernel module.

1a. SELECT KERNEL TYPE.  Edit sys/solaris/Makefile and set KCFLAGS to
     include sparcv9 support if you run a 64-bit kernel, or leave it
     commented out for a 32-bit kernel. Only UltraSPARC systems
     running Solaris 7 and above support a 64-bit kernel. If you're
     not sure what kernel you use, run "isainfo -v". You're running a
     64-bit kernel if the result includes 64-bit (sparcv9), otherwize
     it's 32-bit.

     NOTE: If you want both the 32-bit and 64-bit kernel modules to be
     installed, first compile and install the version appropriate to
     the kernel that you're currently running, then make clean,
     compile and install the other version.

2.  EDIT NETCONFIG.  Add the following line to /etc/netconfig:

	ddp tpi_clts - appletalk ddp /dev/ddp -

    This makes the socket library aware of the AppleTalk protocol
    family.

3.  INSTALL DRIVER.  Since the STREAMS ddp driver must be installed as
    root, we've separated that portion of the build.  Type

	make kinstall

    to install the driver.  This copies the driver and its config file
    into /usr/kernel/drv and /usr/kernel/strmod, runs "add_drv ddp" to
    make the kernel aware of the new driver, and adds an rc file to
    /etc/rc?.d. Watch out for error messages after it runs  add_drv.
    If you see something like
      devfsadm: driver failed to attach: ddp
      Warning: Driver (ddp) successfully added to system but failed to attach
    then recheck sys/solaris/Makefile and/or try a different compiler.

4.  ATALKD.CONF.  Under Solaris, you must create atalkd.conf, since
    Solaris provides no method for determining the names of the
    available interfaces.  It is sufficent to name the available
    interfaces in atalkd.conf, one per line.  E.g.

	le0

    on a line by itself on many Suns. hme0 on Ultras.  See atalkd(8).

5.  PRINTING.  Netatalk can use any postscript printer that has been set
    up for use by Solaris. If you haven't already set up a printer,
    type admintool then select Browse --> Printers, and then Edit --> Add
    and fill in the form for either a local or remote printer. If adding
    a local printer, set the Printer Type to PostScript. Then find a
    postscript file and test your printer from the command line. For
    example if you created a printer called "fred" your print command
    would be something like:  lp -d fred some_file.ps

    Once you have a printer that works under Solaris, you need to create
    a papd.conf file. For example

      MacLaserjet:\
          :pr=|/usr/bin/lp -d fred:\
          :op=nobody:\
          :pd=/usr/local/etc/HPLJ_4M.PPD:

    See doc/CONFIGURE for more information on papd.conf.
    Once you have this set up, and assuming netatalk starts up after
      /etc/rc2.d/S79atalk start
    you should be able to see the printer from the Macintosh Chooser.
