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

+See also: + +

daily rebuilds page for some of the platforms mentioned below; +
the list of support classes in each platform; +
the wxEmbedded page which describes embedded platforms supported +or in progress. +

+ +

+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 Almost 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
Symantec C++ Unknown

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
Borland C++ 4.0/5.0 JS
Linux x86 wxGTK with gcc 2.7.2 Unknown
Should work, but nobody uses it any more
wxGTK with egcs 1.1.1 VZ, RR
wxGTK with gcc 2.95

wxMotif with egcs 1.1.1
with LessTif 0.87
wxMotif with gcc 2.95
with OpenMotif
FreeBSD wxGTK with gcc VZ Limited thread support on older systems
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 Shiv Shankar Ramakrishnan
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
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
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

OS/2 VisualAge 3.0/4.0 Not yet DW OS/2 port is work in progress...
EMX Not yet 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
