Note: UnRAR versions beginning around 6.1.7 have been modernized enough to require a C++11 compiler. As this is written, such a compiler is available for VMS on only the x86_64 architecture. The version 5.9.4 kit (below) is more likely to work on systems with older compilers.

• VMS port notes (as included in the source-only and complete kits, below). This document describes the changes required to build UnRAR version 7.0.9a on VMS, and provides instructions for building and installing the product.

• Source-only kit, including:
  • Source (original and modified).

  /ftp/unrar/unrar-7_0_9a_vms/unrar-7_0_9a_src.zip

• Complete kit, including:
  • Source (original and modified).
  • x86_64 objects and executables (built on VMS X86_64 V9.2-2 with VSI C V7.5-009 (GEM 50XBR) and VSI C++ A10.1-2.240805 (clang version 10.0.1, Build date: 08-05-2024).)

  VAX is not supported due to 64-bit arithmetic. Alpha and IA64 are not supported due to C++11 code.

  Note that an UnRAR program built from the 7.0.9 kit identifies itself as "UNRAR 7.01".

The Zip archive for the complete kit was created using the Zip "-V" option to preserve the VMS file attributes, but the source files in these Zip archives should be usable on a non-VMS system.
