Supported Platform Table
Note: Wx-Config defines the port/platform (MSW, GTK, GTK2, ...) you're currently using!
Platform | Compiler | Status | Tested By | Remarks |
---|---|---|---|---|
Win32 (Win 9x/NT/2K/XP) | Visual C++ 4.2/5.x/6.0 | ok | VZ, JS | Project files are provided for all versions except 4.2 |
Borland C++ 5.0 | ok | Also works with free command line Borland C++ 5.5 | ||
Mingw32 | ok | 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 | ok | Stephane Junique Andrea Venturoli |
Tested under NT 4, cross-compiling for Mingw also works. | |
Watcom C++ 10 | partial | JS | Tested with 10.6: works, but wxImage seems to be broken. no support for JPEG, TIFF or OpenGL. | |
Watcom C++ 11 | ok | Markus Neifer | Tested with 11.0b under Win95. | |
Open Watcom 1.0 | ok | Chris Elliott | Tested with 1.0 under W2K(?). | |
Digital Mars (was Symantec C++) | ok | Chris Elliott | Tested with 8.34b. | |
Win64 (Windows XP/2003) | Visual C++ 7.1 | not supported | Some minor corrections not done yet but will be in time for 2.6.0. | |
Win16 (Windows 3.1) | Visual C++ 1.52 | partial | 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 | partial | JS | ||
Linux x86 | wxGTK with gcc 2.7.2 | not supported | Might work, but nobody uses it any more. | |
wxGTK with gcc 2.95--3.3 | ok | VZ, RR | ||
wxMotif | ok | With LessTif 0.87 | ||
wxMotif | ok | With OpenMotif | ||
All BSD system tests are for wxGTK using gcc. | ||||
FreeBSD | All versions between 3.2 and 5.1 on x86 | ok | VZ | |
NetBSD | 1.6, Alpha | ok | VZ | |
OpenBSD | 3.1, Alpha | ok | VZ | Some problems with shared libraries, ok with static ones. |
Solaris | wxMotif with Sun CC 4.2 | ok | VZ | Thread support must be disabled on system with not MT-safe X11. |
wxMotif with gcc | ok | |||
wxGTK with Sun CC 4.2 | ok | |||
wxGTK with gcc | ok | |||
wxGTK with Sun CC 5.0 and 6.1 (Solaris 7 and 8) | ok | 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) | ok | Carl Godkin | Using GNU make. | |
AIX | wxGTK 2.2.9 with gcc 3.0.4 | ok | Ian Brown | Shared library building doesn't work, use --disable-shared. |
wxGTK 2.3.3 with xlC (AIX 4.3.2) | ok | Irvin Probst | Both static and shared wxGTK libraries work, but only with static GTK+ and GLib. | |
wxX11 2.4.2 with xlC 6 (AIX 5.1) | ok | Swengtoo | In 2.4.2 you need to remove parentheses from the configure line containing AIX_CXX_LD. You should also use GNU make. | |
wxMotif with xlC 3.1.4.0 (AIX 4.2) | ok | Bernhard Eck | Some problems with OpenGL and native X server. | |
wxMotif 2.6.2 with gcc 3.3 (AIX 5.2) | ok | VZ | Because of the bugs in gcc standard headers I had to use --disable-largefile. Both static and shared libraries work. | |
HP-UX | HP-UX 10.20 wxGTK with HP CC A.10.22 or HP aCC B3910B A.01.18 | ok | Staf Verhaegen | You need to add -Aa -D_HPUX_SOURCE to CFLAGS. |
HP-UX 10.20 wxGTK with gcc | ok | Julian Albo Garcia | ||
HP-UX B.11.00 wxGTK 2.6.2 with gcc 3.3.1 | ok | Christoph Haller | Remove /opt/imake/bin and /usr/sbin from PATH because they contain versions of install which don't work. | |
HP-UX 11i v1 PA-RISC, wxMotif 2.5.4, tried aCC A.03.57 and g++ 3.4.2 | ok | 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 and wxGTK1 2.7.0, aCC A.06.05 or g++ 3.4 | ok | Mike, VZ | ||
IRIX | Note that all entries use MIPSPro 7.3 compiler on IRIX 6.5 with default flags (i.e. in n32 mode) if not mentioned otherwise. Also note that you need to set LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH under IRIX to run wxWidgets programs. | |||
wxGTK 2.2 | ok | Ian | You may need to use --disable-catch_segvs if you get compiler error in utilsunx.cpp. | |
wxGTK 2.5 | ok | Carl Godkin | ||
wxMotif 2.5 | ok | David Marshall | On IRIX 6.5.6 (Indigo2, 64bit), with SGI Motif 1.2. | |
wxMotif 2.6.2 | ok | VZ | IRIX 6.5.27m, both 32 and 64 bit with SGI Motif 2.1 using CC 7.4.4m. | |
SCO UnixWare | wxGTK with gcc | ok | William Suetholz | UnixWare 2.1.3 with UnixWare 7 compatibility PTF. |
DEC OSF/1 (a.k.a. Tru64) | wxGTK with gcc | ok | Fabrice Didierjean | OSF1 4.0 on Dec Alpha you may need to run configure with the --host=alpha-dec-osf switch. |
wxMotif1 2.7.0 (with Compaq/HP cxx 7.1) | ok | VZ | OSF1 5.1B on AlphaServer ES45. You must set BIN_SH to "xpg4" to use wx-config. | |
OS/2 | wxOS2-2.4.x with VAC++ 3.0 | partial | DW | Support for this out-dated compiler has been given up for 2.5. |
wxOS2 with EMX | partial | SN | ||
wxOS2 with EMX+gcc 3.2.1 | partial | Dave Parsons | ||
Innotek gcc 3.2.2 | not supported | DW | This compiler uses an object format incompatible with the 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 | not supported | Again, object format is incompatible with X11 libs, so forget about wxGTK/wxMotif/wxX11. We would need somebody with 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 EMX | ok | SN | ||
wxMotif with EMX | ok | SN | With LessTif 0.89 | |
wxX11 with EMX | ok | SN | ||
wxGTK with EMX+gcc 3.2.1 | ok | |||
