Fixed OS/X build issues from Tony Nickolson
Fixed OS/X tap networking startup
Added cygwin host NIC hardware address determination
Made *nix host NIC hardware address determination more robust
This allows a single simulator executable to be a completely useful component (for those simulators which dynamically load ROM or other boot code).
Meanwhile, we continues to allow the explicit use of a user's preferred ROM or other boot code as well.
A build option is provided in the makefile to not build with the included ROM functionality if desired.
Revised VMS build to include new simulators and resolve other build issues
Added AsyncIO support
Fixed support for clean operation on VAX, AXP and IA64 and various VMS versions.
Cleaned up makefile to properly detect pcap and readline and cleanly build on all supported platforms which use the makefile:
X86 (mix of 32bit & 64bit) gcc:
Linux
NetBSD
OpenBSD
FreeBSD
Solaris
OSX
Sparc(big endian) gcc:
Linux
Solaris
The makefile now works for Linux and most Unix's. However, for Solaris
and MacOS, you must first export the OSTYPE environment variable:
> export OSTYPE
> make
Otherwise, you will get build errors.
