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&#39;t always mean that the platform is not supported, but may just
wxWindows hasn&#39;t been tested on it recently (the table is being updated for
wxWindows 2.5.1 currently).
<p>
See also:

<ul>
<li><A HREF="http://www.lpthe.jussieu.fr/~zeitlin/wxWindows/daily/">daily rebuilds page</A> for some of the platforms mentioned below;
<li>the list of <a href="supported.htm">support classes</a> in each platform;
<li>the <a href="embedded.htm">wxEmbedded page</a> which describes embedded platforms supported
or in progress.
</ul>

<p>
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 <tt>gmake</tt>) to compile wxWindows, native make programs
often don&#39;t work.
