39If you have tested wxWindows on a platform not mentioned here, please tell us about your experience on our mailing list!
40We would especially like to have information about compiling wxGTK on other Unix variants, such as IRIX, DG-UX,
f6bcfd97
BP		 41other flavours of BSD, ... Please note that you will generally need GNU make
42(also known as <tt>gmake</tt>) to compile wxWindows, native make programs
