23You will find below the list of all supported platforms for different ports of
24wxWindows 2.x (wxMSW/wxGTK/wxMotif ports only). The cross icon in the third
c140b7e7 25column doesn&#39;t always mean that the platform is not supported, but may just
2b5f62a0 26wxWindows hasn&#39;t been tested on it recently (the table is being updated for
c140b7e7 27wxWindows 2.5.1 currently).

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
8b283bb8 43often don&#39;t work.
