+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.

+
+| 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 abandoned in 2.4.x.
+ and all traces of Win16 code were removed
+ after cvs BEFORE_WIN16_REMOVAL tag |
+
| 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 |
+
+ 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 |
+
| HP-UX 10.20 wxGTK with gcc | | Julian Albo Garcia |
|
+
| 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'
+ |
+
| HP-UX 11i v2 IA64, wxMotif 2.5.4, aCC A.06.00 | | Mike |
|
+
+
+
+| IRIX |
+
|
+ Note that all entries use MIPSPro 7.3 compiler on IRIX 6.5 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 2.5 | | Carl Godkin |
|
+
| wxMotif | | David Marshall | On IRIX 6.5.6 (Indigo2, 64bit), with SGI Motif 1.2 |

+
+
+
+| 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 |
+
| |
| Starting with wxWidgets-2.9.0, wxWidgets supports Unicode builds only. Unfortunately, Unicode support is currently insufficient in all C libraries on OS/2, so only wxWidgets-2.8.x can be used. |
