  23 You will find below the list of all supported platforms for different ports of wxWindows 2.x (wxMSW/wxGTK/wxMotif ports
  24 only). The cross icon in the third column doesn&#39;t mean that the platform is not supported, but just that wxWindows hasn&#39;t
  25 been tested on it recently (the table is being updated for wxWindows 2.3.3
  26 currently).

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