Port Status
Compaq Tru64 UNIX is a Tier 2 Port
Testing Details
We build and test the Tru64 UNIX port on a system with the following specifications:
- Alpha EV67-based host
- Compaq Tru64 UNIX 5.1b
- GNU gcc v4.7.7
- GNU autoconf 2.71
- GNU automake 1.16.4
This port should theoretically run on DEC OSF/1 or Digital UNIX, given a compatible GNU toolchain, but we do not have the resources to test such configurations.
Required Kernel Tuning
For the default daemon configuration, you will need a kernel shm_max parameter of at least 4205344. We recommend 6000000.
To apply an shm_max of 6000000, you will need to do the following:
- Gain root privileges on your system
- Create a file called "pstanza" with the following data:
ipc: shm_max = 6000000
- Run the following command:
# sysconfigdb -a -f pstanza ipc
- Reboot the system
