Platforms supported by wxWindows 2.4 Supported Platforms 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 always mean that the platform is not supported, but may just wxWindows hasn't been tested on it recently (the table is being updated for wxWindows 2.5.1 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/6.0VZ, JSProject files are provided for all versions except 4.2 Borland C++ 5.0Also works with free command line Borland C++ 5.5 Mingw32GRG, VZCross 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 CygwinStephane JuniqueAndrea Venturolitested under NT 4, cross-compiling for mingw also works Watcom C++ 10JSTested with 10.6: works, but wxImage seems to be brokenno support for JPEG, TIFF or OpenGL Watcom C++ 11Markus NeiferTested with 11.0b under win95 Open Watcom 1.0Chris ElliottTested with 1.0 under W2K(?) Digital Mars (was Symantec C++)Chris ElliottTested 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++ 4.0/5.0JS Linux x86 wxGTK with gcc 2.7.2Might work, but nobody uses it any more wxGTK with gcc 2.95--3.3VZ, RR wxMotifwith LessTif 0.87 wxMotifwith OpenMotif All BSD systems tests are for wxGTK using gcc.

Also note that you need to set LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH under IRIX to run wxWindows programs. wxGTK 2.2IanYou may need to use --disable-catch_segvs if you get compiler error in utilsunx.cpp wxGTK 2.5Carl Godkin wxMotifDavid MarshallOn IRIX 6.5.6 (Indigo2, 64bit), with SGI Motif 1.2 Ian SCO UnixWare wxGTK with gccWilliam SuetholzUnixWare 2.1.3 with UnixWare 7 compatibility PTF DEC OSF/1 wxGTK with gccFabrice DidierjeanOSF1 4.0 on Dec Alpha you may need to run configure with --host=alpha-dec-osf switch OS/2 wxOS2-2.4.x with VAC++ 3.0DWSupport for this out-dated compiler has been given up for 2.5 wxOS2 with EMXSN wxOS2 with EMX+gcc 3.2.1Dave Parsons Innotek gcc 3.2.2DWThis 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 1.0/1.1Again, 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. wxGTK with EMXSN wxMotif with EMXSNwith LessTif 0.89 wxX11 with EMXSN wxGTK with EMX+gcc 3.2.1 wxMotif with EMX+gcc 3.2.1with LessTif 0.89 wxX11 with EMX+gcc 3.2.1 OpenVMS wxGTK with Compaq-C++ V6.2 (OpenVMS Alpha 7.3)Jouk Jansen Linux S/390 wxGTK with gcc 2.95.2VZ2.3.1+ only Mac OS wxMac CFM (OS 8.6+)SCwith Metrowerks CodeWarrior 8.3 wxMac Mach-O (OS X)SCCodeWarrior or Apple DevTools (gcc) wxCocoa (OS X)DEApple DevTools (gcc) Contact Vadim Zeitlin with any comments/suggestions.
