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

wxWindows 2 Platforms
Platform	Compiler	Status	Tested by	Remarks
Win32 (Win 9x/NT/2K)	Visual C++ 4.2/5.x/6.0		VZ, JS	Project files are provided for all versions except 4.2
	Borland C++ 5.0			Also works with free command line Borland C++ 5.5
	Mingw32		GRG, VZ	Cross compilation from Linux works as well Version 2.95.2 recommended, otherwise some (included) patches must be applied Memory debugging code doesn't seem to work well
	Cygwin		Stephane Junique Andrea Venturoli	tested under NT 4, cross-compiling for mingw also works
	Watcom C++ 10		JS	Tested with 10.6: works, but wxImage seems to be broken no support for JPEG, TIFF or OpenGL
	Watcom C++ 11		Markus Neifer	Tested with 11.0b under win95
	Open Watcom 1.0		Chris Elliott	Tested with 1.0 under W2K(?)
	Digital Mars (was Symantec C++)		Chris Elliott	Tested with 8.34beta
Win64 (Windows XP/2003)	Visual C++ 7.1			Some minor corrections not done yet but will be in time for 2.6.0...
Win16 (Windows 3.1)	Visual C++ 1.52			Some features are missing (OLE related classes, threads, ...) Borland C++ can't cope with ODBC, resources and new wxGrid class. Last working version is wxWindows 2.2.7, support for Win16 has been removed in 2.4.x.
	Borland C++ 4.0/5.0		JS
Linux x86	wxGTK with gcc 2.7.2			Might work, but nobody uses it any more
	wxGTK with gcc 2.95--3.3		VZ, RR
	wxMotif			with LessTif 0.87
	wxMotif			with OpenMotif
	All BSD systems tests are for wxGTK using gcc.
FreeBSD	all versions between 3.2 and 5.1 x86		VZ
NetBSD	1.6, Alpha		VZ
OpenBSD	3.1, Alpha		VZ	Some problems with shared libraries, ok with static ones
Solaris	wxMotif with Sun CC 4.2		VZ	Thread support must be disabled on system with not MT-safe X11
	wxMotif with gcc
	wxGTK with Sun CC 4.2
	wxGTK with gcc
	wxGTK with Sun CC 5.0 and 6.1 (Solaris 7 and 8)		Jiri Mracek	You have to edit line 2079 in glib.h to fix GTK+ error
	wxGTK 2.5.1 with Sun CC 6.2 (Solaris 6 and 8)		Carl Godkin	Using GNU make
AIX	wxGTK 2.2.9 with gcc 3.0.4		Ian Brown	Shared library building doesn't work, use --disable-shared
	wxGTK 2.3.3 with xlC (AIX 4.3.2)		Irvin Probst	Both static and shared wxGTK libraries work, but only with static GTK+ and GLib
	wxMotif with xlC 3.1.4.0 (AIX 4.2)		Bernhard Eck	Some problems with OpenGL and native X server
	wxX11 2.4.2 with xlC 6 (AIX 5.1)		Swengtoo	In 2.4.2 you need to remove parentheses from the configure line containing AIX_CXX_LD; you should also use GNU make
HP-UX 10.20	wxGTK with HP CC A.10.22 or HP aCC B3910B A.01.18		Staf Verhaegen	you need to add -Aa -D_HPUX_SOURCE to CFLAGS
	wxGTK with gcc		Julian Albo Garcia
IRIX
	Note that all entries use MIPSPro 7.3 compiler on IRIX 6.5.9 with -mips3 -n32 flags if not mentioned otherwise. Also note that you need to set LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH under IRIX to run wxWindows programs.
	wxGTK 2.2		Ian	You may need to use --disable-catch_segvs if you get compiler error in utilsunx.cpp
	wxGTK 2.3		Carl Godkin
	wxMotif		David Marshall	On IRIX 6.5.6 (Indigo2, 64bit), with SGI Motif 1.2
			Ian
SCO UnixWare	wxGTK with gcc		William Suetholz	UnixWare 2.1.3 with UnixWare 7 compatibility PTF
DEC OSF/1	wxGTK with gcc		Fabrice Didierjean	OSF1 4.0 on Dec Alpha you may need to run configure with --host=alpha-dec-osf switch
OS/2	VisualAge 3.0/4.0		DW	OS/2 port is work in progress...
	EMX		SN
	wxGTK with EMX		SN	configure scripts need to be regenerated with OS/2 port of autoconf
	wxMotif with EMX		SN	with LessTif 0.89; configure scripts need to be regenerated with OS/2 port of autoconf
OpenVMS	wxGTK with Compaq-C++ V6.2 (OpenVMS Alpha 7.3)		Jouk Jansen
Linux S/390	wxGTK with gcc 2.95.2		VZ	2.3.1+ only
Mac OS
	wxMac CFM (OS 8.6+)		SC	with Metrowerks CodeWarrior 8.3
	wxMac Mach-O (OS X)		SC	CodeWarrior or Apple DevTools (gcc)
