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,

| 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 |
+

| 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 |

+ 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 11i v1 PA-RISC, wxMotif 2.5.4, tried aCC A.03.57 and g++ 3.4.2 | | Ian, Mike |
+ For a 32-bit PA-RISC build, if you want to use SHLIB_PATH to make it easier to use
+ wxWidgets without installing it, then add LDFLAGS=-Wl,+s
+ If you want to compile the test suite then aCC A.03.57 requires CXX='aCC -AA'
+ aCC can also be used as the C compiler instead of cc by adding CC='aCC -Ae'

| Innotek gcc 3.2.2 | | DW | This compilers uses an object format incompatible with current X11 libraries, so forget about wxGTK/wxMotif/wxX11. CVS now supports building wxOS2, but linking does not yet work OOTB. |
+
| Open Watcom 1.0/1.1 | |
| Again, object format is incompatible with X11 libs, so forget about wxGTK/wxMotif/wxX11. We would need somebody having enough time to dig into the build system and find out how to adapt OpenWatcom's makefiles (or rather bakefiles) for Windows to OS/2. |
