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 it's 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.

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.  See atalkd(8).

5.  PRINTING.  To quote my Solaris documentation, "Setting up printing
    services using the LP print service command-line interface is
    complicated and error-prone."  See your Solaris documentation for
    similarly helpful statements.

    Presuming that the Solaris print filters are installed (see your
    helpful Solaris documentation), the following command adds the
    printer named "bob" your to system and enables printing:

	lpadmin -p bob -i /usr/local/atalk/etc/lp2pap.sh \
		-I postscript -v /dev/null -T PS
	enable bob

    This creates the directory /etc/lp/bob, in which you should create
    a file called ".paprc" containing the NBP name of the printer.  See
    the "pap" man page for more information.
